Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Catholic Church commemorates St. Joan of Arc (1412-1431), the patron saint of France.In her day, the English were allied with the Burgundians in a war against the rest of France.Joan was compelled by the voices of her favorite saints — Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret — to take up arms in defense of her country.Dressed in a suit of white armor, she led the French in battle against the English, who eventually captured her and publicly burned her in Rouen's market square on May 30th, 1431, accusing her of witchcraft and heresy.The Church reversed its decision in 1455, and she was canonized in 1920.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Send us Fan MailA teenage peasant girl hears a call she can't explain, and a nation on the edge of collapse starts to hope again. We walk through the miraculous journey of Saint Joan of Arc, from the quiet rhythms of Domremy to the public weight of a mission that changes history. Along the way, we linger on the details that make her story more than a legend: the patience of her prayer, her love for the Church, and the steady devotion that forms her long before anyone knows her name. We also place Joan inside the real crisis of 15th-century France: the Hundred Years War, political fracture, and a spiritual weariness that makes people wonder whether heaven has gone silent. Against that backdrop, Joan's reported voices of Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret become a lens for Catholic discernment, not a shortcut around it. We talk about what her example suggests for our own decisions: testing what we hear, seeking spiritual counsel, returning to the Eucharist, leaning on the rosary, and choosing obedience when the next step feels costly. From Chinon and the Dauphin's court to the battlefield and the Siege of Orléans, Joan's leadership is portrayed as something deeper than strategy: prayer as strength, trust as armor, and the names of Jesus and Mary carried into moments of fear. If you're hungry for a faith story that speaks to anxiety, confusion, and courage, this one delivers a clear challenge and a surprising comfort.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”In a world that often feels disconnected from the divine, many of us grapple with profound questions about identity, purpose, and love. Saint Catherine of Siena once said that if you become who you truly are, you would light the world on fire. This echoes the sentiments of John Paul II and Saint Athanasius, who spoke of the deep yearning inscribed in each human heart—a longing for a divine connection that can transform our lives. In this Episode we delve into these themes, particularly through the lens of Saint Augustine's journey and the insights from the Claymore Battle Plan.To start, we must recognize that our hearts are filled with desires to love and be loved. Yet, they can also be confused and hurt, struggling to find coherence in our experiences. In *Act 26* from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, we explore how the gospel intersects with our lived experiences. This interaction leads us to our "aha moment," where we encounter Jesus Christ and begin to understand our true purpose.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Angeline from the Parish of Saint Catherine of Siena in the Archdiocese of Seatle, USA. Acts of the Apostles 22: 30; 23: 6-11; Rs psalm 16: 1-2a.5.7-8.9-10.11; John 17: 20-26.MAY WE ARE UNITED Our meditation today has the theme: May We are United.There was a 5-year-old boy who was praying in his room. His parents heard fromoutside the room as if the boy was talking to someone. They peeked in theopening of the door, and saw the child looking up with both hands open. Heexclaimed in his prayer: "Lord Jesus, I often pray to you, but I havenever heard you pray for me. Now I want to hear you pray for me." That boy actually wants to know whether Jesus praysfor us humans or He only listens then later answers to our requests. This isalso often a question of many of us. Today our Gospel reading describes a veryspecial prayer of Jesus, namely, he prays that there will be unity between Godand human beings and between every man and woman. So Jesus prays for each of usand everyone around us, that may we are united. Why is His prayer that may weare united and not we should be united? The most obvious reason is that God gives every humanperson freedom to choose the way to unity or disunity. This is the same ashuman freedom to obey the Lord or to go against Him. Our life is an arena ofplay and struggle to determine who chooses God and who does not. Therefore,human freedom is a natural gift that helps us to determine the actual conditionof our faith and spiritual growth. Another reason is perhaps we are not aware thatpreparation is a very important element in our lives. Jesus' prayer intentionshould encourage us to prepare in building up a genuine fellowship between us,the sons and daughters of God on earth. This preparation aims to increase ourtaste and longing for an eternal communion in heaven which will be achievedafter every one's death. We, therefore, must not underestimate or ignore everyform of unity that we build together in this world. We will disappoint the Lordif we underestimate it. The reason which should be the most important one isthere is only one God who has an eternal dwelling place in heaven. We have togo through a long journey and process in order to get there. There is no magicgame or an express transportation to reach there. If there is no such process,then one might think that a miracle will be enough to bring all of us togetherinto heaven. However, in God's will there should be a process for us to follow.Therefore, we are in accord with Jesus who prays for us that "may we areunited", and we also continue to pray in this manner. The Lord gives us the gift hope. God does noteliminate our hopes and replace them with a must to happen at once. Thereforeour prayers always have the elements of "hopefully", "may"or "will be", as a sign of our hope. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... Omost loving God, may the Holy Spirit unite us in this world and prepare us foreternal communion with You in heaven. Hail Mary, full of grace … In the name ofthe Father ...

Homily by Fr. Michael Renninger
Born in Tuscany, in central Italy, St. Catherine of Siena was an Italian mystic, pious laywoman (Dominican Tertiary), and diplomat who engaged in papal politics through extensive letter-writing and advocacy. She is revered as a Doctor of the Church due to her extensive theological authorship, which also greatly influenced early Italian vernacular literature. Classic paintings of this influential Christian woman abound, as well as extensive commentary on her written corpus of work. April 29 is her Feast day.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 281 The Saint of the day is Saint Catherine of Siena Saint Catherine of Siena's Story The value Saint Catherine of Siena makes central in her short life and which sounds clearly and consistently through her experience is complete surrender to Christ. What is most impressive about her is that she learns to view her surrender to her Lord as a goal to be reached through time. She was the 23rd child of Jacopo and Lapa Benincasa and grew up as an intelligent, cheerful, and intensely religious person. Catherine disappointed her mother by cutting off her hair as a protest against being overly encouraged to improve her appearance in order to attract a husband. Her father ordered her to be left in peace, and she was given a room of her own for prayer and meditation. Saint Catherine of Siena entered the Dominican Third Order at 18 and spent the next three years in seclusion, prayer, and austerity. Gradually, a group of followers gathered around her—men and women, priests and religious. An active public apostolate grew out of her contemplative life. Her letters, mostly for spiritual instruction and encouragement of her followers, began to take more and more note of public affairs. Opposition and slander resulted from her mixing fearlessly with the world and speaking with the candor and authority of one completely committed to Christ. She was cleared of all charges at the Dominican General Chapter of 1374. Her public influence reached great heights because of her evident holiness, her membership in the Dominican Third Order, and the deep impression she made on the pope. She worked tirelessly for the crusade against the Turks and for peace between Florence and the pope. In 1378, the Great Schism began, splitting the allegiance of Christendom between two, then three, popes and putting even saints on opposing sides. Saint Catherine of Siena spent the last two years of her life in Rome, in prayer and pleading on behalf of the cause of Pope Urban VI and the unity of the Church. She offered herself as a victim for the Church in its agony. She died surrounded by her “children” and was canonized in 1461. Saint Catherine of Siena ranks high among the mystics and spiritual writers of the Church. In 1939, she and Francis of Assisi were declared co-patrons of Italy. Pope Paul VI named her and Teresa of Avila doctors of the Church in 1970. Her spiritual testament is found in The Dialogue. Reflection Though she lived her life in a faith experience and spirituality far different from that of our own time, Saint Catherine of Siena stands as a companion with us on the Christian journey in her undivided effort to invite the Lord to take flesh in her own life. Events which might make us wince or chuckle or even yawn fill her biographies: a mystical experience at six, childhood betrothal to Christ, stories of harsh asceticism, her frequent ecstatic visions. Still, Catherine lived in an age which did not know the rapid change of 21st-century mobile America. The value of her life for us today lies in her recognition of holiness as a goal to be sought over the course of a lifetime. Like any journey worth taking, our faith journeys are marred by difficulties and doubt. But as Saint Catherine of Siena proved, all struggles are worthwhile if it brings us into closer proximity to God. Catherine of Siena: Pray for us!Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Johanna from the Parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 12: 24 - 13: 5a; Rs psalm 67: 2-3.5.6.8; John 12: 44-50.ALL NATIONS PRAISE THE LORD Our meditation today has the theme: All Nations Praise the Lord. This sentence istaken from the responsorial psalm of today's liturgy. Yesterday we reflectedupon the reality of the presence of Catholics in all corners of the earth andhow we feel connected to each other as one flock, as followers of Jesus Christ. One way to express thisunity and connectedness among us believers is that we admit the truth that all nations of the worldpraise the same God. In the first reading, Acts of the Apostles say that word of God continuesto spread and increasingly grows inthe life of the Church. Messages, words, information of the Gospel reach theears and hearts of people faster than any high-speed machines even of the most recent technology. Even with the widespread use of today's media information and communication, thefastest reaching out of God's word to each individual's heart is undeniable. Asan outcome, not only more people are addedto the flock, but they also rely themselves daily on the Word of God. This isone of the important reasons for all nations to praise God. The fact reveals that truth about word of God reaching out to the hearts of all nations of the world, is not only the act of God. It very muchdependson the messengers, missionaries and workers of the Lord'svineyard who tirelessly preach the Gospel. The early church indicated this reality to us, for example by sending Barnabas and Paul to a greatermission expanding beyond the boundaries of their territory. We are grateful forthe initiative of the early Church, of course thanks to the works of the Holy Spirit,to the zeal and sacrifices offered for mission and evangelization of people. The workers of the Lord's vineyard today are not onlypriests, religious men and women, whohave been recorded so well in the history of the Church. At present, we know well that there are many membersof the Church, lay persons, who are truly committed to be missionaries in everyplace of they are and work. Their testimonies are truly trustworthy anddown-to-earth because they come into direct contact with real-life situationand other people, who are interacting with them in all times. This is alsoanother important reason for all nations to praise the almighty God. Jesus Himself says that light does exist in the world.BecauseHe himself is the light, hence, darkness disappears. How can His followersnot perceive and enjoy that light, then?They should be the ones who first experience the light, then become the lightitself, and eventually enlighten this world. The most concrete form of the presence of light in our midst is the Word of the Lord, that Jesus Christ has it in the communionwith the Father in heaven. Thus,as we persevere in listening to the Word of God and live it out properly in our daily lives, we basically are the lights for this world. This is also anotherimportant reason for all of us to praise the Almighty God. Letus pray. In the name of the Father ... O Jesus Christ, help us to always be the light of thisworld through living out Your Word, after listening and pondering it. May we always come topraise God in all our lives. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name ofthe Father …
I reflect on the spiritual necessity of divine guidance as I prepare for a personal religious retreat. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, the message emphasizes adopting a childlike disposition to truly understand God's will and avoid the pitfalls of self-centeredness. The speaker highlights Saint Catherine of Siena as a model of integrity, praising her ability to speak the truth plainly, without resorting to deceptive language or euphemisms. By remaining faithful and simple, believers are encouraged to act as instruments of the Creator rather than relying solely on their own limited wisdom. Ultimately, the text suggests that while individuals must use their personal initiative, true peace is found by submitting to the gentle authority of Christ.
If you're reading along, just know this has been slightly shortened to fit the space, so it might not match the audio word for word—but you're not missing anything important. He Is Series Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You) — When You Feel Unworthy, God Is Still Working in You Exodus 31:13 “You yourself are to speak to the Israelites: ‘You shall keep my sabbaths… that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.'” Today, we are talking about Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You). To be sanctified means to be made holy. God is the one who makes us holy. At a mission, a speaker asked who wanted to be holy; only a few hands went up. Then he asked who wanted to go to heaven—everyone raised their hand. He said, “You know the only way to get to heaven is to be holy, right?” Another speaker said something similar. Few wanted to be saints, but everyone wanted heaven. The truth is, we are all called to be saints—not necessarily Saints with a capital S like Mother Teresa or Saint Catherine of Siena—but we do need to be sanctified to enter heaven. God is the one who sanctifies us through His grace, love, and mercy. He wants each of His children to be holy so we can spend eternity with Him. I think many of us hesitate to say we want to be holy for two reasons. First, we don't want to seem prideful. Second, we think it will require more than we can give. We assume it means doing everything perfectly or giving up everything we enjoy, so we avoid it. I looked up what sanctification means using the Truthly app—an AI tool that shares faith-based insights rooted in Catholic teaching. To be sanctified means: To be made holy — God transforms us from the inside out through grace. To be set apart — We are dedicated to God, no longer living just for ourselves. To be purified — God doesn't just cover sin; He cleanses it. The primary means of sanctification are: The Holy Spirit The Sacraments Prayer, fasting, and works of mercy Suffering united to the Cross The goal is full participation in God's life—what some call theosis—sharing in His divine life by grace. This is the purpose of the Christian life: not just to avoid hell, but to become truly holy. We cannot make ourselves holy, but we can cooperate with God—or resist Him. Before I continue, I want to say something important. I'm not sharing this so you feel like you have to do everything or that you're falling behind. This isn't a checklist. This is just a way to notice how God is already working in your life… and where He might be inviting you a little deeper. You don't have to do everything perfectly. Just listen and see if one thing stands out. Here are simple ways we can cooperate with God's grace: Prayer — Opens our hearts to God The Sacraments — Especially the Eucharist and Confession Scripture — Helps us hear His voice Fasting — Trains our hearts to depend on God Works of mercy — Loving others Offering suffering — Letting God transform it Devotion to Mary — Drawing closer to Jesus Spiritual guidance — Getting help from others Daily reflection — Noticing God's presence Virtue — Choosing patience, humility, and love This is not about doing all of these. Just ask: is there one step God is inviting me into? We can also unintentionally resist grace: Pride — Thinking we don't need God Serious sin — Though we can always return Neglecting prayer — Losing connection Small compromises — Slowly pulling away Tempting situations — Leading us to struggle Spiritual apathy — “It doesn't matter” Ignoring conscience — Dismissing that nudge Attachments — Loving things more than God Unforgiveness — Blocking grace Despair or presumption — Too far gone or no need to change Again, this is not to make you feel bad. Just ask gently: “Is anything blocking what God wants to do in me?” Grace is not earned—it is received. God is always giving. The question is whether our hearts are open. As Saint Augustine said, our hearts are restless until they rest in God—and every step toward Him brings us closer to that rest. I know this episode was more teaching than usual, but I felt called to share it. If you're listening, I believe you want heaven—and God wants that too. He is working in you every day. What is one way you can cooperate more with His grace? What might be resisting it? Dear Jehovah Mekoddishkem, bless all who are listening. Thank You for sanctifying us and wanting us with You forever. Show us anything blocking Your grace and help us cooperate with it. We want to be holy. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus! Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit, “Who needs to hear this?” If someone comes to mind, send it to them. I look forward to seeing you Monday. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are—and so do I! Have a blessed weekend!

Jesus från Nasaret – kristendomens förgrundsgestalt – är en av världshistoriens mest kända, omdiskuterade och inflytelserika personer. För drygt 2,3 miljarder människor, alltså närmare en tredjedel av jordens befolkning, är han Guds son och historiens stora predikant och sanningssägare. Även den som vänder honom ryggen behöver förhålla sig till honom: det är svårt att förstå de senaste två årtusendenas västerländska kultur utan kunskap om Jesus och hans budskap. Men hur mycket vet vi egentligen? Det finns de som hävdar att Jesus aldrig har existerat – har de en poäng? Vad var det som gjorde hans budskap så radikalt och hotfullt att myndigheterna i Jerusalem ansåg sig tvungna att gripa, förhöra, döma och avrätta honom? Hur kunde den lilla gruppen kring Jesus i Galileen på relativt kort tid utvecklas till en av det romerska imperiets mest dynamiska rörelser – och till slut bli en del av statens ideologi?Och hur ska vi förstå evangeliernas mirakelberättelser? Finns det belägg för de under som tillskrivs Jesus i Nya testamentet – att han gick på vatten, förvandlade vatten till vin och botade sjuka och förlamade så att de kunde resa sig och gå hem?I denna repris av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om Jesus. Samtalet rör sig mellan obarmhärtig källkritik och nyfikna ”deckarspekulationer” kring uppståndelsens mysterium.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent Lectionary: 254 The Saint of the day is Saint Catherine of Genoa Saint Catherine of Genoa's Story Going to confession one day was the turning point of Catherine's life. When Saint Catherine of Genoa was born, many Italian nobles were supporting Renaissance artists and writers. The needs of the poor and the sick were often overshadowed by a hunger for luxury and self-indulgence. Catherine's parents were members of the nobility in Genoa. At 13, she attempted to become a nun but failed because of her age. At 16, she married Julian, a nobleman who turned out to be selfish and unfaithful. For a while she tried to numb her disappointment by a life of selfish pleasure. One day in confession she had a new sense of her own sins and how much God loved her. She reformed her life and gave good example to Julian, who soon turned from his self-centered life of distraction. Julian's spending, however, had ruined them financially. He and Catherine decided to live in the Pammatone, a large hospital in Genoa, and to dedicate themselves to works of charity there. After Julian's death in 1497, Catherine took over management of the hospital. Saint Catherine of Genoa wrote about purgatory which, she said, begins on earth for souls open to God. Life with God in heaven is a continuation and perfection of the life with God begun on earth. Exhausted by her life of self-sacrifice, Catherine died September 15, 1510, and was canonized in 1737. The liturgical feast of Saint Catherine of Genoa is celebrated on September 15. Reflection Regular confession and frequent Communion can help us see the direction–or drift–of our life with God. People who have a realistic sense of their own sinfulness and of the greatness of God are often the ones who are most ready to meet the needs of their neighbors. Saint Catherine began her hospital work with enthusiasm and was faithful to it through difficult times because she was inspired by the love of God, a love which was renewed in her by the Scriptures and the sacraments.

Today’s Topics: Gospel – Luke 21:5-11 – While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here– the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked Him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them!

Today’s Topics: 1) Spiritual Warfare Questions and Answers 2, 3, 4) In Part 15 of this series, Jesse and Eddie discuss “How to Remove Generational Spirits,” beginning on page 86, in The Liber Christo Method of Healing and Deliverance, by Dr. Dan Schneider
A meditation preached on January 31, 2025, last day of the year, at Lyncroft centre. Traditionally, in the old Mass, after the priest had given the blessing, before returning to the sacristy, he would read the prologue of John's Gospel about the preexistence of the Word, from all eternity that had now become flesh. This Gospel was a way to seal the Mass with the mystery of the incarnation, reminding the faithful of what they had received. Our faith is an encounter with the incarnate Logos, not merely an ethical system of good ideas. The apostles were energized by this truth at Pentecost. Now we too feel this same sense of mission as we embark on 2026.Music: O Come O Come Emmanuel.

“Bologna was unique in championing the professions of women. The home of Europe's oldest university, which has supported female students since the thirteenth century, the city considered women artists integral to its development” - Katy Hessel, The Story of Art Without MenWelcome to Episode #128:Bologna is one of those places that has that quintessential Italian feel. A medieval city with wonderful heritage and a place where tradition and conviviality are maintained. Many people love to visit for the food and there is a lot to say about the glories of the table in Bologna. I went there for art, food and wine and found myself lured by the beautiful porticoes that dominate the city and a significant visit to Santa Caterina. There are UNESCO World Heritage sites and al fresco ambience like no other. I often wonder why more people don't visit this city. It has so much to offer in terms of the magic of travel in Italy.Visit Bologna MichelleJohnston.life for the Shownotes and Visuals!A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard Johnston© 2025 A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show
Today’s Topics: Gospel – Luke 21:5-11 – While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here– the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked Him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.” Memorial of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Virgin and Martyr Saint Catherine, pray for us! 1, 2, 3, 4) Monsignor Jason Gray joins Terry to give an update on the status of Bishop’s Sheen’s hopeful canonization as a Saint
Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel Matthew 10:28-33 Jesus said to his Apostles: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.” Reflection The last line can be disturbing if not understood clearly. Jesus makes clear he has deep love and deep concern for all of us. He knows everything about us and he also has one unique quality. He honors our freedom. He refuses to make us believe in him. And what he's saying, ultimately is, if you choose not to accept me, I cannot force you to do that. And if you don't do that, I can't reach you. I can't heal you. I can't help you. Closing Prayer The love that God has for us is hard for us to grasp. It's a love that is freely offered and must be freely received. There's great sadness in Jesus when he says the last line of this passage, because he knows he cannot make you do anything that you don't choose. So bless us God with a constant, consistent choice for all the gifts that you give us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 397The Saint of the day is Saint Bridget of SwedenSaint Bridget of Sweden’s Story From age 7 on, Bridget had visions of Christ crucified. Her visions formed the basis for her activity—always with the emphasis on charity rather than spiritual favors. She lived her married life in the court of the Swedish king Magnus II. Mother of eight children—the second eldest was Saint Catherine of Sweden—Bridget lived the strict life of a penitent after her husband's death. Bridget constantly strove to exert her good influence over Magnus; while never fully reforming, he did give her land and buildings to found a monastery for men and women. This group eventually expanded into an Order known as the Bridgetines. In 1350, a year of jubilee, Bridget braved a plague-stricken Europe to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Although she never returned to Sweden, her years in Rome were far from happy, being hounded by debts and by opposition to her work against Church abuses. A final pilgrimage to the Holy Land, marred by shipwreck and the death of her son, Charles, eventually led to her death in 1373. In 1999, Bridget, Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, were named co-patronesses of Europe. Reflection Bridget's visions, rather than isolating her from the affairs of the world, involved her in many contemporary issues, whether they be royal policy or the years that the legitimate Bishop of Rome lived in Avignon, France. She saw no contradiction between mystical experience and secular activity, and her life is a testimony to the possibility of a holy life in the marketplace.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 3:7b-15 - Jesus said to Nicodemus: “‘You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to Him, ‘How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, We speak of what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you people do not accept Our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the One Who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.” Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church Saint Catherine, pray for us!
