Catherine of Siena Author

By the time St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was twenty-one, she had experienced her mystical "marriage" to Christ and thrown herself tirelessly into ministering to the poor and sick. Throughout her active ministry, Catherine pursued truth through prayer, reading, and spiritual experience. She is one of only a few women in history to be recognized as a theological "Doctor" of the Catholic Church.
