PODCAST | Catherine of Siena: The Saint Who Fought Division
In this meditation, Fr. Eric Nicolai reflects on the life and witness of St. Catherine of Siena, whose courageous love for the Church and the Holy Father helped restore unity in a time of division. Her example, deeply admired by St. Josemaria, reminds us that fidelity to Christ is lived through a sincere love for His Church.
Fr. Eric invites us to follow this path, growing in unity, praying for the Pope, and responding with faith and trust in our own time.
Listen and reflect on:
- The witness of St. Catherine of Siena
- Her influence on St. Josemaría’s love for the Church
- Fidelity to the Pope as a sign of love for Christ
- Praying for unity in the Church
- Living our faith with courage and trust
