Posted on Friday, April 30, 2021 by Guest Blogger

by Theresa Cavicchio

Eternal Trinity

Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

April 29
St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
"Eternal Trinity, Godhead, 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. Yes, You are a fire that takes away coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know Your truth. You are beauty and wisdom itself. "
-Adapted from a prayer of St. Catherine of Siena
Today's Reflection
Today, I will take a few moments to meditate on this prayer of St. Catherine and see what the Lord speaks to me through it.
