St. Catherine D’Ricci, Feb. 13
St. Catherine de' Ricci O.P., who lived from April 23, 1522, to February 1, 1589, was an Italian born in Florence. Alessandra Lucrezia Romola, her given name, was placed by her father in the Monticelli convent near their home where her aunt Louisa de
Ricci was a nun. At 14 she went to the Dominican convent of San Vincenzio. By age 25, she had risen to the post of perpetual
prioress.
As the perpetual prioress she developed into an effective and greatly admired administrator, an advisor on various topics to
princes, bishops and cardinals. She corresponded with three men who were destined to become popes; Marcellus II, Clement
VIII, and Leo XI. An expert on religion, management and administration, she gave counsel both in person and through letters,
and received great supernatural favors as well.
Thinking she did not love the Lord enough, she asked Him for a new heart. On the Feast of Corpus Christi, she went into ecstasy and Our Lord appeared to Catherine to give her a new heart, made of flesh. She said that this heart felt as if it was on fire.
Our Lord had given her the heart of His Mother Mary! From that time on she said her heart was no longer hers but that of Jesus’ Mother.
The following year, April 15,1542, Saint Catherine was mystically married to Jesus. Our Lord appeared in a brilliance, reminiscent of the Transfiguration. He took her hand in His and kissed it; then He took a gleaming ring off His own finger and placed it
on the ring finger on her left hand, saying, “My daughter, receive this ring as pledge and proof that thou dost now, and ever
shalt, belong to Me.” The ring actually manifested itself physically, made of gold and diamonds to Catherine; that’s how she saw
it all her life. The other nuns, however, saw something different. They saw a red mark around the finger, as if the ring had made
a mark there, including a red mark where the stones would have rested.
She is famous for the “Ecstasy of the Passion” which she experienced every Thursday from noon until Friday at 4:00 p.m. for
twelve years. She spontaneously bled as though scourged.
One of the miracles that was documented for her canonization was her appearance many hundreds of miles away from where
she was physically located. It was St. Philip Neri to whom she appeared in this miraculous manner. She was canonized under
Pope Benedict XIV in 1746. Her feast day is February 12. The lineal descendants of her community still inhabit the
convent of San Vincenzio (now commonly called Santa Caterina), and there her body still reposes.

DID YOU KNOW?
ABORTION IS A LEADING CAUSE OF
DEATH!
The number of unborn babies who die every year from
abortion (1.3 million) is more than eleven times greater than
the combined total of Americans who die annually from:
Accidental falls (12,000) - Downing's (4,000) - Poisonings
(6,000) - Car accidents (40,000) - Suicides (30,000) - Homicides (25,000) (James K. Glassman in The Washington Post,
May 21, 1996, p. A19)
The number of unborn babies who die every year from
abortion is higher than the number of Americans who die
annually from cancer (550,000) and from heart disease
(700,000) combined. (Daniel S. Greenberg , The Washington
Post, May 8, 1996, p. A25.)
THAT IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN ALONE:
….I N 2009 THERE WERE 8,542
A B O R T I O N S
P E R F O R M E D
(62% DECREASE FROM THE 21,754 IN
1980), THAT IS 23/DAY, 1/HOUR.
THAT IN THE USA:
•
THERE
HAVE BEEN OVER
55,000,000 +
ABORTIONS
•
WHO? Girls ages 10-18
WHY? To find a little school of sanctity and friendship; learn
how to love God and neighbor in a concrete way; learn the importance of winning souls, of prayer, of sacrifice and charity;
learn how to sanctify the joy of living. Thus, they will grow today
into the happy and holy young women who will be tomorrow’s
strong pillars of the Church and of society.
WHAT? Holy Mass, Confessions, Faith formation, games and
other activities (e.g. charitable tasks, outdoor activities, field trips,
cooking, talent shows, sewing, etc.) that any Catholic girl will
find useful and enjoyable.
WHERE? Usually St. Boniface Catholic Church, 1001 Marshall
St., Manitowoc, WI 54220 (corner of Marshall St. & 10th St.)
