Asking what can be learned from St. Catherine of Siena's words can, on the surface, seem like a trite meme on social media but in truth holds great depth and power coming as they do from a highly revered theologian who lived life in deep communion with God. Reminiscent of passages of scripture, Colossians 3:2; Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 2:9, this quote and its context prompts questions like: How can we understand her concept of bravery in our lives today? How might we spread the light of our fire? How easy or hard is it for us to accept that in Christ we can do everything? If we are called to be in Christ, is it helpful to consider the weakness of Christ alongside the strength of his love? Who are you, who has God meant you to be and is there anything stopping the expression of that?
