Mass Readings: September 15
Saint of the Day
St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510)
Catherine married at age sixteen. Careless, cruel, and unfaithful, her husband brought them to bankruptcy. She converted him through her prayer and fidelity, and the two lived together chastely the rest of their lives, working with the sick and poor.
Reflections from the Saints
If it were given to a man to see virtue's reward in the next world, he would occupy his intellect, memory and will in nothing but good works, careless of danger or fatigue.
