| St. Catherine de Ricci |
History
When Catherine de Ricci became a
nun at the age of 14, her superiors realized she was a very good spiritual
leader. She exchanged letters with quite a few other people, including Saint
Philip Neri and three men who would later become pope: Marcellus II, Clement
VIII, and Leo XI. Every Thursday from noon until Friday at 4 p.m., she was
given a holy experience called an ecstasy. During that time, she would be
totally focused on the Passion of Christ, as if she could see nothing but Jesus’
love, poured out for us on the Cross.
Activity
Today is Thursday! So, set an alarm
to go off at noon, and then pause in your day to pray this prayer. Then, keep praying it at all your other regular prayer times (prayer before or
after meals, prayers before bed, morning prayers, etc.) between noon today and
4 p.m. tomorrow.
