She became the trusted counsellor of two it was her voice which friend and Popes ; finally decided Gregory XI to return from Avignon to Rome. When the great Schism broke in 1378, she spent the last years of her life fighting with tongue and pen for " " she died Urban VI, the true Christ on earth ; and like a martyr of the mystical sufferings laid upon her by her Divine Spouse, having offered herself as a victim for the Divisions of Christendom. Saint Catherine s short life is so important from the historical, and so full of incident from the personal standpoint, that only a vivid sketch on broad outlines has been attempted in the present work. This is founded on the Legenda of Fra Raimondo da her confessor and on the Processus Capua, biographer ; of Venice on Saint Catherine s letters of ; (nearly 400 in whole or in have been and which, part, preserved) ; " " on the wonderful Dialogue she dictated to her secretaries in 1378. No Saint ever raised to the altars has ever combined, as did Catherine of Siena, the perfection of the contemplative and the fulness of the active life the essence of the Spirit of that Order to which she had belonged from her childhood, and in which she proved herself, every moment of her life, a true Daughter of St. Dominic. The illustrations in the text are taken from woodcuts in two mediaeval translations of the Legenda of Fra Raimondo da Capua : two from La Vie de Madame Saincte Katherine de Seine (Jean Petit, Paris, 1503) ; and the rest from the Hystori und zvunderbdrlicb legend Kathe rine von Senis (Augsburg, 1515). That facing page 199 is from the Orcharde a translation of the of Syon, "Dialogue" of St. Catherine made by the chaplain of the Brigittine nuns of Syon Abbey, and printed by Wynkyn de Worde (London, 1519). The originals are in the British The of Museum^ portrait St. Catherine, which forms the frontispiece, is from the original engraving of Vanni s of the pifture Saint, published by Gigli (V ofere delta Santa Serafica Caterina da Siena. Siena, 1707). As two excellent bibliographies for the Life of St. Catherine INTRODUCTION xiii have already been given in the biographies mentioned, it was not thought necessary to add a third to the present work but I must indebtedness to M. ; acknowledge my Salembier s Le Grand Schisme de ^Occident (Paris, 1900), on which part of this book is based. I must express my grateful thanks to the Right Rever end Dom Cabrol, O.S.B., Abbot of Farnborough, and also to the Very Reverend Father Bede Jarrett, O.P., Prior of Haverstock Hill, for the loan of valuable books from the libraries of their respective houses. C. M. ANTONY. London. Feast of St. Rose of Lima. August $oth, 1915. 8 F ^ C 8 loves Catherine Benincasa because she was always and everywhere a woman in every fibre of her being. EVERYBODYThose of her contemporaries who had no ear for her words, no sympathy with her ways, nor understanding of her mission, were quickly subdued by the charm of her personality. Her undoubted powers of intellect, her indisputable gift of quick, sure intuition, her wisdom in outlining sane and safe measures of statecraft, her mastery of the most harmonious cadences of a musical language, no doubt enhanced, but did not alter essentially, the engaging beauty of her character. What her contempo raries and the world since her time have always associated with her name is a dignity which was queenly in its .reserve and delicacy, a tenderness which was motherly in its broad helpfulness and deep self-sacrifice, a simplicity which was maidenly in its utter trustfulness and uncalculating generosity, a confidence in human nature which was childlike in its forgetfulness of past ingratitudes and disappointments. Though she was born a plebeian her own people to this day proudly call her the Popolana yet the unclion of a natural nobility of soul and mind was ever visible upon her. By nature and temperament she was fitted to be what she succeeded in remaining to the end a strong, noble woman, whose greatest strength lay in her tenderness, and whose nobility sprang from her tender femininity. But Catholics love Catherine Benincasa principally for her sanctity. This sanctity it is that has insured her the glory of an immortality among men, as it has brought her an im mortality of glory before God. To Catholics, who believe that grace perfects and supplements nature, the soft glow of Catherine s womanliness becomes indis tinguishable from the snow-white radiance of her holi ness. She is, first and foremost, a rare flower of the Faith. She is a trophy of supernatural grace. She is a xvi PREFACE masterpiece of the refining, spiritualizing powers of Catholicism. She is a friend, well tried and much trusted, of Jesus Christ. Him she sought from her young days in Holy Scripture and Holy Church, where He lives to impart to us His spirit and help us to reproduce it in our lives. And Catherine sought nothing more earnestly than to put on Christ, and Him crucified. She would be the spouse of the King of the Five Wounds. Therefore she realized early in life the need of putting off herself com pletely and entirely. Strong woman that she was, it called for no mean nor unheroic battling to drive away the faults impatience, censoriousness, a spirit of criti cism which are the inevitable accompaniments of a nervous, vivacious temperament like hers. Outward persecution, indeed, helped to bring under control the hastiness and of her but it impetuosity nature ; was within that all the finer battles were fought out. By drawing the sword of penance daily against herself whom she had learned to know intus et in pectore by searching self-examination she succeeded in crucifying the carnal spirit with its sensitive appetites, in constrain " " ing her will to accept the hard sayings of Christian reason, and in submitting her mind to the guidance of truth. Yet there was nothing hard or unfeeling, nothing of the Stoic or Indian fanatic, about her self-immolation. For if she arrived early at a state of union with God, it was because she understood from the first the Apostle s word (Rom. xiii. 10, Heb. x. 38) that the principle and motive and end of all spiritual growth must be a rapturous love of God for His own sake. The sum total of her spiritual teaching, as also the mainspring of all her striving, was Charity. Knowing " full well the Scriptural word, Whoso abideth in Charity abideth in God," she bent all her energies to correspond as fully as she could with the graces which the good Master poured out upon her. She lived to love. She loved to love. She made all things oil and fuel to feed the living flame of her love. Therefore, joy and peace sweetest because most mature fruits of charity filled her heart, as they illumined her face. Though her body was P<REFACE xvii racked with exquisite pain, though her eyes rained con stant tears of bitter sorrow over the sad plight of Church and State, though the plans upon which she had expended much labour and many tears were cast upon the rocks under her very eyes, though her heart was not strong enough to withstand the impact of her many disappoint ments, she was withal to the last a true, because a joyous, daughter of St.

  • Opening and Blessings at Acu
    OPENING AND BLESSINGS AT ACU Australian Catholic University (ACU) recently consecrated the new St Thomas Aquinas Chapel and blessed the Catherine of Siena Centre on the Ballarat Campus. Bishop Paul Bird CSsR, presided over the consecration and blessed the facilities, together with ACU Campus Chaplain, Fr James Kerr and ACU Director of Identity and Mission, Fr Anthony Casamento CSMA. The Catherine of Siena Centre reflects both our rich past and exciting future. The Centre is a combination of four heritage houses, which still have their original frontages facing Ripon Street in order to keep in character with the neighbourhood and there is a very modern façade fronting the Campus. Morton Dunn Architects are responsible for the innovative design and the works were carried out by Page Constructions. The end result is an extremely functional space for the Schools of Education, Arts and Theology and Philosophy. The building is named after St Catherine of Siena, a teacher in the Dominican Order and a Scholastic philosopher and theologian. It is also named after Sister Catherine of Siena, a Sister of Mercy in Ballarat. The naming of this Centre represents both Catherine of Siena and Sister Catherine of Siena and the Mercy tradition over Fr James Kerr, Bishop Paul Bird CSsR and Fr Anthony Casamento one hundred years. CSMA. Photograph supplied by Ian Wilson Photography. Over the past twelve months the St Thomas of Aquinas Chapel at the Ballarat Campus has also undergone a major transformation. Central to the improvements are high, stained-glass windows that create a stunning effect by activating the space with coloured light throughout the day.

  • CA Students Urge Assembly Members to Pass AB
    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Members of the California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Thousands of CA Public School Students Strongly Urge Support for AB 101 Dear Members of the Assembly, We are a coalition of California high school and college students known as Teach Our History California. Made up of the youth organizations Diversify Our Narrative and GENup, we represent 10,000 youth leaders from across the State fighting for change. Our mission is to ensure that students across California high schools have meaningful opportunities to engage with the vast, diverse, and rich histories of people of color; and thus, we are in deep support of AB101 which will require high schools to provide ethnic studies starting in academic year 2025-26 and students to take at least one semester of an A-G approved ethnic studies course to graduate starting in 2029-30. Our original petition made in support of AB331, linked here, was signed by over 26,000 CA students and adult allies in support of passing Ethnic Studies. Please see appended to this letter our letter in support of AB331, which lists the names of all our original petition supporters. We know AB101 has the capacity to have an immense positive impact on student education, but also on student lives as a whole. For many students, our communities continue to be systematically excluded from narratives presented to us in our classrooms. By passing AB101, we can change the precedent of exclusion and allow millions of students to learn the histories of their peoples.

  • Saint Catherine of Siena
    SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA Benedict XVI’s reflection on the great saint and Doctor of the Church in 2010. Our catechesis today deals with Saint Catherine of Siena, a Dominican tertiary, a woman of great holiness and a Doctor of the Church. Catherine’s spiritual teachings are centered on our union with Christ, the bridge between earth and heaven. Her own virginal entrustment to Christ the Bridegroom was reflected in her celebrated visions. Catherine’s life also shows us the importance of the spiritual maternity exercised by so many women in every age. From this great saint let us learn to grow in holiness, love for the Lord and fidelity to his body, the Church. Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today I would like to speak to you about a woman who has had an eminent role in the history of the Church. She is St. Catherine of Siena. The century in which she lived — the 14th — was a troubled time for the life of the Church and for the whole social fabric in Italy and Europe. However, even in the moments of greatest difficulty, the Lord does not cease to bless his People, raising men and women saints who stir minds and hearts, bringing about conversion and renewal. Catherine is one of these and still today she speaks to us and pushes us to walk courageously toward sanctity to be disciples of the Lord in an ever fuller sense. Born in Siena in 1347 to a very numerous family, she died in her native city in 1380. At 16, moved by a vision of St.

  • St. Francis De Sales Catholic School
    Durham Catholic District School Board St. Francis de Sales Catholic School Motto: “Inflame Our Hearts with Your Love” In the Beginning In 1893, Father Vincent McGivney called a meeting to start a Separate School Board in Pickering for the children of the parish families of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. The provisional Board of Trustees consisted of P.J. McCabe, Arthur O’Connor and Peter Kaiser. Two months later, a public meeting was called to announce the establishment of the Pickering Village Separate School Board. Soon afterwards, the Board was able to obtain the land next to the church to build St. Francis de Sales Catholic Elementary School. The land was originally the location of the church rectory until it burned down in 1913. A three-room school was built beside the church in 1953 at a cost of $35,100. It was the first school built in the area. The first principal was Mr. W.J. Cooper (now a retired superintendent) and the first teachers were Miss M. Weir, Miss M. Harrigan and Miss E. McGee. 1 In 1954, two classes were added at the cost of $25,000. 1959, the school board was able to purchase two and a half acres of land behind the school from Anglican Synod, and four new classrooms were built at a cost of $68,200. There was a significant increase from 1953 to 1965 in the number of students and teachers and in the school structure itself. The 1965–1966 staff consisted of nine teachers, one principal, one vice-principal, one secretary and one custodian.
