St. Catherine of Siena

"I explained my providence to you in general and in particular,

letting you see from the beginning of the world's creation

right up to the end

how I have done and continue to do everything

with divine providence,

giving and permitting all that I do for your good - trials and consolations

both spiritual and temporal -

so that you may be sanctified in me

and my truth may be fulfilled in you. And this is that truth:

that I created you

so that you might have eternal life..."
