St. Catherine of Siena lived from 1347-1380 and was named a Doctor of the Church in 1970, one of the first two women to receive that title along with St. Teresa of Avila.

In an age when everything is so public, St. Peter reminds us of the merits of a hidden life where the glories of man are not sought, but rather the will of God.

Whether leading a company or folding laundry, let our mantra be: Jesus, I do this for the love of You!
