Saint of the Day
St. Colette (1381-1447)
After a vision of St. Francis, Colette led a reform of the Poor Clares. Her rule prescribed that the nuns go barefooted, observe perpetual fast and abstinence, and practice extreme poverty. She helped heal the papal schism, and founded seventeen convents.
Reflections from the Saints
If there be a true way that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured.
– St. Colette
