One of the few female doctors of the church, St. Catherine of Siena, wrote "𝘉𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦."
St. Catherine reminds us of the impact of being 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. In Luke 12: 49, Jesus said, "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!". St. Catherine encourages us to live a life prepared for the return of the Lord.
