Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)

What can you possibly think of a woman who kneels down to pray and then just sails off into the air in some sort of trance? What can you say when the same woman is called upon to solve arguments between kings and popes? How can you do anything but admire her fearless care for victims of the Black Plague when everyone else was terrified of them? What becomes obvious is that Catherine was a religious genius with a real sense of how to achieve practical solutions.

She made her mum very proud too.
