By Constance T. Hull, Catholic Exchange - In this time of pandemic, it is also good to consider her devotion to the poor and the sick. She would faithfully serve those dying of the bubonic plague who were also her spiritual children. An example of love that knows no limits, including the fear of death, St. Catherine was willing to go wherever Christ needed her, no matter the cost. This is once again evidence of her deep love as a spiritual mother who went to the very limits for the sake of her spiritual children.
