None without a cross…
No one can pass through this life without a cross.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Hearts on fire…
The devil fears hearts on fire with love of God.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
It is human to sin…
It is human to sin, but diabolic to persist in sin.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Love transforms…
Love transforms one into what one loves.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Misunderstanding God’s true nature…
Strange that so much suffering is caused because of the misunderstandings of God’s true nature. God’s heart is more gentle than the Virgin’s first kiss upon the Christ. And God’s forgiveness to all, to any thought or act, is more certain than our own being.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
The love of the Creator…
For it is the nature of love, to love when it feels itself loved, and to love all things loved of its beloved. So when the soul has by degrees known the love of its Creator towards it, it loves Him, and, loving Him, loves all things whatsoever that God loves.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
