Presentation on St. Catherine of Siena: Lover of People

Zoom talk with
Fr. Thomas McDermott, OP
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center
Catherine of Siena, Italian member of the Dominican Laity, saint and mystic of the 14th century, loved people and they loved her. Her friends and disciples, whom she called her bella brigada (beautiful brigade) numbered some 60 people who followed her to France and Rome and places in between. She lovingly commanded the Pope to return to Rome (he did), made peace among feuding families, and interceded for the city of Florence after it was placed on papal interdict. She lived through several pandemics. She corresponded with kings and queens, popes, prostitutes, mercenaries, gay people and others. Besides living a fascinating life, she authored hundreds of letters and a compendium of her spiritual thought known as the Dialogue. She, along with St. Teresa of Avila, was named the first female Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI in 1970. On April 28, Fr. Tom McDermott, OP, author of several books on St. Catherine, will give a presentation on her life and spiritual thought.
All are welcome to this important and informative gathering.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
I invite you to enter into my heart with your Spirit.
I embrace you with my mind, my heart, and my soul.
Please, never permit me to be separated from you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
