Today Church celebrates his life, his generosity and dedication to serving God in the Church men and for his tireless fight for it be faithful to the true doctrine, and convinced Pope Gregory XI at Avignon in I376 to leave and return to the See of Rome.
But this was not the only significant event in his life, his whole life really is relevant. From his childhood he devoted himself to God in virginity. At 16 years and overcome family opposition, she entered the Sisters of Penance of St. Dominic, dedicated to prayer, austerity, penance and fasting. At age 23, receives the mission vision that God illuminates to carry through an intense apostolic life, is a peacemaker between the Tuscan land, and seeks peace for all men pleading for that purpose is achieved.
The April 1, 1375, he received the stigmata of the Lord's passion, not in blood but in light. Its mission was very effective in reforming the Church and Order of Preachers, supported by her spiritual director Raymond of Capua, which the same year St. Catherine died, he was elected Master of the Order of preachers for the reform of the Order and bring it to its former glory.
Santa Catalina, has left an important collection of letters, and other legal writings and oraciones.Pio II and Paul VI canonized, with St. Teresa of Avila, the named doctors of the Church in I970.
Santa Catalina But today, we want to talk to her life, not hers but of the holiness of his ways, some hidden, some extraordinary resonance.
The psychological striking progress in religion, has forced the theologians to study psychology with other parameters of the saints.
Enlightened by the Holy Spirit, they are discovering new paths and guiding principles of mystical theology, which is for the Church a source of great truths, doctrinal treasures that make breaking the rigid structures of the past. Today, we can understand better, how were our men and women in distant centuries, when its radical way of living the Gospel, they won for the Church recognize them as saints.
After re-reading the letters of St. Catherine, we are dealing with a woman whose power is remarkable leadership, his personality is overwhelming, it is all wrapped up in strength, so we can discover in it a willingness to love moving with constant current and with the same record, as urged all to know and make known to surrender to follow Christ, to Church and the Pope.
His letters are the echo of his soul, they set out what he has learned drinking in the precious blood of Christ, his "Sweet Jesus. " Catalina does not waste time and fiery words are written on paper to be like darts aimed at the heart of their target, no matter who he is, his correspondence has the spirit of universilaridad, as universal Catholic Church . This explains that his zeal for souls the right to be so eager to right all crooked or negligent conduct.
In his letters breathe the same idea: starting from a doctrinal and theological exhortation for each of its recipients, that trying to work under moderate missing or pride or other imperfections.
Catalina expressed as the Holy Spirit teaches, taking into account their personality, which is who is really going to translate this knowledge of God. His teaching is influenced by the theology and spirituality of his time as its culture, yet despite the intervening centuries, even today, is perennial source of doctrine.
How can we understand today to St. Catherine? It is only possible to understand from the gospel, there to find Catalina dressing naked God alone. Seen thus, her naked and we find way Truth, because there will be no hindrances that keep us from drinking blood of Christ.
In one of his letters (334 meetings) is this short but substantial text, which shows its true spirit.
"I want as Reverend. Father, to remain firm and steadfast and persevering in every virtue. These strengthen the soul by removing the weakness of the sins that are weak and subject to slavery "
Yes, Santa Catalina was a courageous woman who has left Church and our Order preachers, a priceless treasure of beauty of Christ. It has made us custodians of the blood of Christ and all we are "vessels" to contain it and give it to drink for free as St. Catherine did all his life, that he wrapped and penetrated by the love of Christ himself, the faith of those who believe that they are loved and hope to those who already live, a similarity in the land of what is Heaven .
Excuse me but I can pass on to their posts for comment.
