Fr. Mark Daniel Kirby, O.Cist sends me his marvelous homily for the Feast of St. Catherine.
It is evident, I think, that today’s feast of Saint Catherine of Siena is a further invitation, a pressing exhortation, to fix our gaze on the Blood of the Lamb, to adore that Precious Blood, to yield every impurity and sin of ours to the torrent that gushes from Christ’s pierced side, and to drink of the Chalice of Salvation.
From the image of the flag-bearing Contradas in Siena to St. Gaspar's writings to Fr. Jeff's article, to Fr. Kirby's magnificent homily, what a beautirul tribute to St. Catherine of Siena. And what a powerful message to us of the centrality of the Precious Blood on our journey.
