November 25 ~ St. Catherine, Virgin, Martyr

   St. Catherine was able to outrage the most learned men of her time and succeeded in bringing a number of them to Christ. Angels carried her body to the top of Mt. Sinai.

  After her shall virgins be brought to the King: her neighbors shall be brought to thee with gladness. –Gradual: Psalm xiv.

  I am He Who teacheth men knowledge, and Who giveth a more clear understanding to little ones than can be taught by man. He to whom I speak will quickly be wise and will profit greatly in spirit. –Imitation: Book III.

   Ideal: You must know the life of this saint. You cannot appreciate some of the loveliest art pictures, nor some lovely poems unless you know St. Catherine; most of all, you would miss knowing one of the most charming patrons of students.

 Today: Get the Catholic Encyclopedia and read the life of St. Catherine of Alexandria. No more need be said; you will know what to do after you have read her life.

  Slogan: Virtue and science.
