Catherine of Siena by Catherine Of Siena
2014 Reprint of 1950 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Catherine ranks high among the mystics and spiritual writers of the Catholic Church. She remains a greatly respected figure for her spiritual writings, and for her political boldness to speak truth to power. This was exceptional for a woman in this period. The Dialogue speaks to the whole spiritual life of man and is presented in the form of a series of colloquies between the Eternal Father and the human soul (represented by Catherine herself). It is a mystical counterpart in prose to Dante's Divina Commedia. This edition is translated from the original Italian by Algar Thorold.By the time St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was twenty-one, she had experienced her mystical marriage to Christ and thrown herself tirelessly into ministering to the poor and sick. Throughout her active ministry, Catherine pursued truth through prayer, reading, and spiritual experience. She is one of only a few women in history to be recognized as a theological Doctor of the Catholic Church.
