Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.
St. Catherine of SienaEternal Trinity... mystery deep as the sea, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being.
St. Catherine of SienaO Trinity, eternal Trinity! Fire, abyss of love... Was it necessary that you should give Even the Holy Trinity as food for souls?... You gave us not only your Word Through the Redemption and in the Eucharist, But you also gave yourself In the fullness of love for your creature.
St. Catherine of SienaThere is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.
