This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letters of Catherine Benincasa, commonly known as St. Catherine of Siena, have become an Italian classic yet perhaps the first thing in them to strike a reader is their unliterary character. He only will value them who cares to overhear the impetuous outpourings of the heart and mind of an unlettered daughter of the people, who was also, as it happened, a genius and a saint. Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, the other great writers of the Trecento, are all in one way or another intent on choice expression; Catherine is intent solely on driving home what she has to say. Her letters were talked rather than written. She learned to write only three years before her death, and even after this time was in the habit of dictating her correspondence, sometimes two or three letters at a time, to the noble youths who served her as secretaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Catherine of Siena (1347 - 1380) was an Italian mystic, who was part of the Dominican order. She was canonized in 1461, and is recognized as a Doctor of the Church. She was born in Siena, Italy, and early on wanted to devote herself solely to God as a nun, although this was against the will of her parents. She joined a group of pious women and soon became famous for mystical phenomena, such as an invisible stigmata, and a mystical marriage to Jesus Christ. She would come play a pivotal role in Pope Gregory XI's (d. 1378) decision to move the papacy from Avignon back to Rome. Through her numerous letters sent to princes and cardinals she was able to promote obedience to Pope Urban VI, whom she called the "vessel of the Church." These letters have become famous for providing a window into the spiritual counsel of one of the most celebrated female saints in the Catholic church. This work is a reproduction of "Saint Catherine of Siena as seen in her letters," by Catharine Benincasa, translated by Vida D. Scudder. J.M Dent and Co.: New York: E.P Dutton and Co., 1905. This work has been illustrated with artwork of the saint from the Renaissance period.

This book was released on 2016-12-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) is widely considered one of the greatest saints of all time. She is best known for her mystical "Dialogue" with God the Father, for which she was declared a Doctor of the Church, but her letters are also unmatched in their spiritual power and profundity. Many people do not know that St Catherine was also a stigmatist, bearing the wounds and suffering the passion of Christ for the salvation of souls. She prayed to God to make the wounds invisible so as not to draw attention to herself. Only her confessor, Blessed Raymond of Capua, knew of her sharing in the sufferings of Our Lord until the day the saint died, when the wounds became visible for all to see. This edition of The Letters of St. Catherine, originally published in 1905 (but now in more modern English in this newly revised and edited version), includes an Introduction on the Life and Times of the Saint, a description of Saint Catherine as Seen in her Letters, the Chief Events in the Life of Saint Catherine, and a Brief Outline of Contemporary Public Events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was born and raised in Siena, and at an early age wanted to devote herself to God, against the will of her parents. She joined the Dominican tertiaries. She made herself known very quickly by being marked by mystical phenomena such as invisible stigmata and a mystical marriage.[3] Her influence with Pope Gregory XI played a role in his decision to leave Avignon for Rome. She was then sent by him to negotiate peace with Florence. After Gregory XI's death and peace concluded, she returned to Siena. She dictated to secretaries her set of spiritual treatises The Dialogue of Divine Providence. The Great Schism of the West led Catherine of Siena to go to Rome with the pope. She sent numerous letters to princes and cardinals to promote obedience to Pope Urban VI and defend what she calls the "vessel of the Church." She died on 29 April 1380, exhausted by her penances. Urban VI celebrated her funeral and burial in the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome.
