Growing in Love with Catherine of Siena

This work offers a selection of passages from Catherine of Siena as a basis for a path of spiritual growth with the theme of growth in capacity to love. There is an introduction and fifteen chapters, no additional front or back matter. Each chapter will include a couple of very short passages from Catherine; a couple of scripture readings about the theme of Catherine’s passages; a meditation and guide to Catherine’s wisdom; and exercises based on Catherine’s wisdom.

The book invites engagement with the content of the passages through the suggested prayer exercises that seek to help persons apply Catherine’s wisdom to their own journey. These prayer exercises are suitable for a beginner or someone already on a spiritual journey. They contain methods of prayer that are active and use the imagination, as well as more contemplative ones.
