Book Overview

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. See also "The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena" which I have edited, updating the language for the modern reader. https: //www.amazon.com/Dialogue-Saint-Catherine-Siena/dp/1541022556/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511642748&sr=1-1&keywords=dialogue+of+saint+catherine+of+siena See other excellent classic works revised into modern English published by the editor by searching "Darrell Wright". Thanks for looking, and also for positive reviews of them.
