| Notes: Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Catherine of Siena's (1347-1380) active career as reformer and foundress was rooted in her prayer life. From her encounter with God flowed a rich stream of writings that attracted wide attention in Italy and all of Europe and won for her the title of Doctor of the Church. Here, for the first time in English is the complete collection of her prayers, edited by Suzanne Noffke and based on the 1978 critical edition of Giuliana Cavallini. Born of Catherine's intimate and loving communion with God, these prayers present a valuable model of authentic prayer. |
