April 29 – Saint Catherine of Siena

O My Savior, Saint Catherine of Siena took her faith out into the world to make a difference for Your Kingdom.  She served as a spiritual guide to many, she affected politics, and she convinced the pope to return the Church’s leadership to Rome.  By word and deed, she taught that Christians should influence the world with their spiritual values.  I ask her to pray for me, that I will recognize the opportunities around me in which I can assert my Christian Faith to help shape society.  Lord, fill me with a desire to get involved in the world’s affairs, and show me how to do it well.  Saint Catherine of Siena, pray for me.  Amen.

Quotes for Today

Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)

I see your mercy pressing you to give us even more when you leave yourself with us as food to strengthen our weakness, so that we forgetful fools should be reminded forever of your goodness.”

Everything comes from love; all is ordained for the salvation of man. God does nothing without this goal in mind.”

Now we are the vessel that has received this blood. And we are the rock into which the standard of the most holy cross was set. “

The prayer above is from Terry Modica’s book Daily Prayers with the Saints.
