Catherine of Siena
Excerpt from Chapter 14 of Christ’s Faithful Servants, copyright 2023
A Child’s Vision. Life-changing experiences do not generally occur at the age of six. But such an experience apparently happened to little Catherine Benincasa while walking along the streets of Siena, Italy, with her brother Stephen. As they passed the local church, she had a vision of Christ, along with the apostles Peter, Paul, and John, and she fell into a trance. When she and her brother returned home, she was changed. She began to fast and pray, and to withdraw from society. From what we know of her, Catherine retained this devout nature for her remaining twenty-seven years. . . .
