Dive into the fascinating life and teachings of Saint Catherine of Genoa, an Italian Roman Catholic saint recognized for her service to the sick and the poor. Born into the prestigious Fieschi family in 1447, she devoted her resources and life to alleviating suffering during the ravaging plague in Genoa in 1497 and 1501. The book Libro de la vita mirabile et dottrina santa de la Beata Caterinetta de Genoa, published 41 years after her death, provides a detailed account of her divine discourses and experiences. This book, Life and Doctrine of St. Catherine of Genoa, is a biographical exploration showcasing her profound spiritual insights and offers a roadmap for attaining perfection in our relationship with God. Despite controversies over the authorship, recent scholarship attributes a significant portion of the works to St. Catherine herself. (Introduction by Wikipedia and Ann Boulais)
