Saints

This week is a good one to reflect on the lives of the saints.
Tuesday was St. Catherine of Sienna. She was one of 23 children born to one woman. She had many mystical experiences and was famous for her ability to make peace between those who were fighting.
Wednesday was St. Pius V. He was pope in the 1560's. He implemented the reforms of the council of Trent. Before him there were many popes who were very worldly and even some who led lives of debauchery. From the time of Pius to the present all of the popes have given good example in their personal moral life, even if they haven't all been the best of leaders.
April 28 was the anniversary of the death of St. Gianna Molla. She died in 1963. Got to this link to find our more about her.
