Her parents were John de Vigri and Benvenuta Mammolini. Even in her young years, she showed a wisdom superior to her age. She was very serious and pious. It was really edifying to see her absorbed in prayer, or behaving with mercy and tenderness whenever she gave alms to the poor, which were given in the name of Jesus. Her father was an ambassador of Marquis dEste of Ferrara, a relative. The Marquis, Nicholas IV, noticing her good behavior chose her to be the maid-of-honor and friend for his beloved daughter, Princess Margaret. Catherine was only 11 years old. They became well educated in everything important to their culture, which was necessary for young women of high rank. Clever and alert, not only in the company of the Princess but with the daughters of the nobility, Catherine studied and made swift strides in the art of drawing and painting. She also reached a special distinction in Latin, sufficiently so that she was soon able not only to read classical works, but also to write it flawlessly. She was greatly admired for her beauty, intelligence, and her genuine purity of soul. The Lords grace, however, grew stronger in her heart day by day, and stirred within her a desire to read and prayerfully meditate on both the Scriptures and the ancient Fathers. People acknowledged the wisdom and profound insights Catherine had with the teachings of the Fathers of the Church. Imbued and enlightened at her heavenly school, she began losing interest in the world and with the splendors of the court. Her wish to abandon the world, so that she could adhere only to the Lord and look after her daily spirituality, was getting deeper every day. After her father died her mother re-married and her friend, Princess Margaret went off to Rirnini, as the wife of the Master of that town. Catherine was then left free to follow the Lord. Young suitors though, tried hard to convince her that, being young and gifted and with her many qualities it would be better to remain in the world...that by working for the happiness of an earthly family, she still could be a model of Christian virtues. But, Catherine was conscious of how better and more perfect it would be to renounce the legitimate happiness of a life in society and to dedicate herself to the Lord. She decided to live only for the Lord Jesus! Firm and resolute in her devotion to divine service and toward a greater perfection, she decided to delay her decision no longer. At only 15 years, she went to live in the Third Order Franciscan Monastery, which carried the dual appellation of Corpus Domini and Visitation, in Ferrara. Then at eighteen, in 1431, she donned the habit of Saint Clare of Assisi, the Poor Clares of today. Although only fifteen at the time of her admission into the Monastery of Corpus Domini and Visitation in Ferrara, with these feelings she entered that holy place. In her own words: During my tender years, enlightened by the divine grace, I came to Gods service in this Monastery, full of confidence and fervor. I was all taken up in a life of prayer, day and night. Any kind of virtue I admired or I heard of others possessing I was willing to imitate in my life; and this not out of envy, but to please God, on Whom I had put all my love. Once within the community the prayer life of Catherine was graced with remarkable visions, both from Jesus and from her blasphemous arch enemy Satan! her method of discernment was to notice that before visions coming from Jesus she felt great humility, first from within and then forcing her to bow her head. Then Jesus, like radiant sunshine, would enter into her soul with the profoundest peace. Then Satan came and constantly interfered by giving her terrible thoughts and doubts. An example: When Catherine was all aflame with devotion towards Jesus real presence in the Blessed Sacrament, finding delight kneeling down in front of the Eucharist, spending the whole night, totally absorbed into the fire of divine love, the devil would start his malicious attack. That done, Satan, would try to steal away her fervent heart with its feelings of piety, and would muddle up her mind with doubts on the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. She then would feel cold and indifferent to this Sacrament of love. Nonetheless she kept on ceaselessly asking the Lord to have pity on her and remove the burden of her desolation and dryness. The Lord finally ended this trial. One morning, at Mass, after she received Communion, Catherine in fervent prayer to Jesus asked for a general pardon for the failings she had committed. Then, the truth about the Eucharist was revealed to her completely. Her doubts and difficulties left her. Jesus also explained to her that doubt, when not purposely cultivated, does not diminish the grace of Holy Communion. Saint Francis also appeared to her. He would comfort her to keep her on the road to perseverance and joy leading to spiritual perfection. Strengthened by her many victories and favors obtained from the Lord, she became very courageous against Satan. Once she rebuked him Be sure, evil spirit, that you will not ever hurt me is such way, or stealthily be on me, that I cannot know it. Soothed by and strengthened by these heavenly consolations, Catherines heart was then filled with special favors and light. She was given the ineffable joyous gift of supernatural visions. Following the death of its founder, both the Monastery of Corpus Domini, and Catherine herself, had to face difficult days. With a financial shortage and materials, the new Convents enclosure and privacy could not be properly kept, thereby interfering with Living the Rule of the community. Catherine was urged by people in high rank to break away from the religious life and return to the secular. They claimed the Pope could release her from her religious vows. The more they tried to convince her, the more Catherine resisted. She simply intensified her prayer life. Sadly Catherine wept and prayed for several days and nights until Jesus spoke and told her what His will was: to remain in the monastery, and that better days would soon dawn upon it. So, in 1452, Pope Martin V formally approved the Rules of Saint Clare for the Corpus Domini Monastery. Under the direction of Sister Taddea Pio, the first Abbess, Catherine was able to make remarkable progress on her goal to spiritual perfection, becoming all the more humble as she progressed towards holiness. Catherine found joy in doing the simplest and humblest of chores with her duties to the community. She kneaded and baked bread, she carried the building materials, assisting in the construction goals of the monasterys Rule. When she was appointed door-keeper she readily stopped her work, and even her prayers, at a moments notice, to answer the many calls at the convent. She never complained, nor did she show any grudge in doing them. She was convinced that everything earned special merit, provided it was done for the glory of God in fulfilling His Will. Because of Catherines humility, God granted her many special favors. One day, while baking the bread, the sisters were called to prayer. Catherine hurried putting the bread into the oven, she quickly made the Sign of the Cross over it, and ran to church joining the sisters in prayer. They lasted longer than she thought. After a few hours she returned to the oven and miraculously the bread wasnt burnt! It even appeared to be nicer and tastier than usual and became the bread of obedience. In the midst of these varied occupations, Catherine always found time for prayer, meditation and contemplation. And if the free time of day was not sufficient, she simply shortened her sleep to give more hours to her vigil. She had been the baker for a considerable period of time when, out of obedience, Saint Catherine accepted the responsibilities as novice mistress. With diligence and care she assumed her duty. She told the novices to address her as Sister Catherine and not the more formal mother mistress. She taught them with humility, charity, and mildness yet with sacred fervor. Their new way of life did not spare Catherine the assaults of the Devil. As she progressed in holiness she received greater trials. Thankfully, also with great favors and visions from God after they ended. There are two well-known incidents in the saints life that are considered quite significant. One of them I have had commissioned in Italy to be artistically rendered, so that we can display that event prominently in our own church. The first involves Catherine on a Friday evening kneeling before the image of the Crucified Christ. She yearned to understand and deeply feel His suffering. Her desire was answered. Jesus spoke to her telling her about His inner pains, the bitter sorrow He felt for His Mother, the deep, stabbing grief He felt reflecting on the rejection and ingratitude of mankind in response to His love. Catherine understood and was filled with a deeper love and tender compassion for his sufferings. On the night of Christmas 1445, and all alone in the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, Catherine was deeply meditating on the mysteries of this feast. She fervently asked God to let her know at what moment His Divine Son was born into this world. Suddenly, shortly before midnight, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her, showing her the Child Jesus, whom she then placed in Catherines arms. Trembling with awe and respect, yet still more overcome with joy, Catherine took full advantage of the moment by caressing Him, of pressing Him against her heart, and of bringing His face to her lips. When her face touched the cheeks of Jesus, He disappeared, but leaving her filled with joy. For the rest of her life she carried the trademark of that divine contact imprinted on her, That mark is believed to be seen today, found on that portion of her chin which appears whiter in the saints preserved body. The sisters soon realized that something extraordinary had happened that night. A marvelous scent spread all over the choir and a mysterious light radiated from Catherine's forehead. Out of obedience she was compelled to reveal what she wanted to conceal by humility. The fame of this miracle was heard well beyond the monastery walls. It became well known about the holiness of Catherine, which gave great glory to God. The spirituality and holiness that surrounded the Corpus Domini and Visitation monastery at Ferrara had spread throughout Italy. This attracted many women who sought admission to join this saintly community. Many were from Bologna. In the year 1452 there were already 99 nuns living at the monastery. It was necessary to establish a new convent. In July 1456, Father Baptist, the Vicar General of the Friars of the Observants, together with his brother friars, four noblemen from Bologna, representatives of the Bishop and the Senate went to Ferrara to request assistance from the Mother Abbess, Sister Leonarda, in establishing a new monastery. She immediately recognized the towns wishes and desires. The Abbess promised them a mirror image and true disciple of the Blessed Francis just as was Saint Clare. She promised to send them a new Saint Clare. Pope Nicholas V had already granted permission to establish a new cloister with its own church. It was decided that Sister Catherine, a native of Bologna, would be the Mother Abbess to give her life to the new foundation. After spending twenty-four years at the Ferrara convent, Catherine was apprehensive. She was worn down and weak. Her years of doing penance had taken its toll and she had become accustomed to her humble life there. It also pained her to leave her beloved monastery to assume the responsibilities of directing a new monastery. Nevertheless, on the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalen, July 22nd, she and fifteen nuns left their security of the cloister, before dawn in order to avoid the crowds lining the roads. However, torches lit their way. Representatives from Bologna stood at the monastery door to escort them. Both noblemen and townspeople greeted them along their way. The excitement was feverish. All of them were so happy to gain such a precious treasure in these nuns. The city of Bologna announced their arrival with a thunderous ovation. The cannons roared, fireworks exploded, church bells chimed. The people greeted Catherine and her entourage with deep emotion. Two Cardinal Bishops, the Bishop of Bologna and representatives from every walk of life met them at their temporary quarters at the small Franciscan hospital of Saint Anthony at the head of Saint Felix Road, They were introduced to all by the Bishop who then blessed them and then the entire crowd. For three days citizens, from all over, became acquainted with Catherine and her companions. When the flurry of commotion died down, Catherine at once organized the community. She prayed with her fellow nuns for divine enlightenment. She emphasized to her companions that by their example others would be shown the importance of leading virtuous lives. As Catherine spurred her sisters toward perfection, the Bolognese in turn rewarded them with their generosity. As the holy Abbess, she knew instinctively how to handle the alms given. First, for everything religious fostering the dignity of the beauty in religious liturgies, and only after for the material needs of the community. During that immediate September, six young women from Bologna were received into religious life. Catherine prayed with them before the Crucifix and then, as they were prostrated before the Blessed Sacrament, consecrated them to the service of God. Catherine offered to the heart of Jesus the first fruits of the harvest from the new convent at Bologna. Within the sacred enclosure of the Monastery of Corpus Domini, Catherine burnt like a candle with ardent love of and for Jesus. Her holy life, in full submission to the will of God, made her the splendid mirror of perfection, not only to her sister companions, but to the outside world as well. Often, during prayer, she would be so enraptured in recollection and devotion in union with God, that she was insensitive to any distraction. Nothing, not even shouting her name or shaking her would bring Catherine out of her reverie. While deeply concerned, not only for her own and her sisters spiritual life, she was aware of the salvation of all Christians. Catherine called upon her sisters special prayers for the conversion of those who were reluctant to answer Jesus call to grace. Meanwhile, she endured the personal pain of self-inflicted bodily mortification as penance and reparation for the souls of all, especially the obdurate. When assured that a soul was healed, she then asked God to entrust it to her prayers. Subjugated in penance and fasting, Catherine loved her prayer life and her strict observance of the Poor Clare Rule. However severe she was to herself, she was extremely kind toward others. She was exceptionally compassionate and kind to the sick and infirm sisters. She nursed them with tenderness and tried to relieve them of their suffering with gentle patience. Once Sister Lucia accidentally cut of her foot with a hoe while working in the monastery garden. All of the sisters ran to her rescue when they heard her screams. A frightened Catherine not knowing what to do prayed immediately and fervently to Jesus. She then tried to put the foot back on the leg in place making a sign of the cross at the same time. Miraculously and without any pain the foot and leg healed. There wasnt any sign of the injury! As the monasterys fame grew in the short period after its founding, it became impossible to accept new postulants. Catherine again turned to the Lord to provide help. Shortly afterward, several noble and wealthy parents answered that prayer. Catherine was given sufficient funds to enlarge the monastery so that their daughters could answer Jesus call to follow Him. The unremitting rhythm of life, with the penitential and austere rules of the Poor Clares, and the absence of any personal care for her own health were now taking its toll. Catherines health kept deteriorating. Felled by a high fever, Catherine thought her life was drawing close to its end. She then called the sisters to her bedside, and advised them with fervent and enlightened counsel. All of the Sisters cared for her, especially Sister Magdalene Rose, from Bologna, who never left her side throughout her illness. She applied the foot lotion the doctor prescribed for Catherine. Once, because she held Catherine in such high esteem and thought of her as a living saint, Sister Magdalene knelt to kiss, with great love and tenderness, Catherines feet. Catherine at once rebuked her, and told her, through obedience, never to do it again. Moved by the spirit of God, Sister Magdalene humbly replied: My dearest Mother, the celestial scent, which radiates from your feet compelled me to do so. It shows me how precious they are to God. And, if you forbid me to kiss them now, YOU will not in the future. After your death the whole world will come to reverently kiss them. When it appeared Catherine was about to die, she received the holy Viaticum with profound humility and love. Through the convent sisters insistent and constant prayers to God, however, Catherine recovered and continued on living for another year. During that period as she prepared for the final encounter with her heavenly Spouse, Catherine received yet another vision. She immediately related it to the sisters: I was enraptured in spirit. I was carried off to a place of such marvelous beauty, that words cannot describe. In the middle was the full majesty of God in all His radiance. Gods dignity was so dazzling, that even the memory of it makes me so lightheaded that I could faint. At His right hand stood His beloved Mother; at the rounded ends of the arms of His chair were Saint Lawrence and Saint Vincent, surrounded by a myriad of angels. In front of the All-Powerful stood someone, playing the violeta. Its music carried this tune: Et Gloria Eius in te videbitur (His Glory will radiate on you). Having seen all of these marvelous things, and hearing that music, I thought my soul would part from my body. But God, from His chair, stretched out his merciful arms and drew me to him. He told me the meaning of the melody of those words. During the remainder of the year, Catherine would gently chide her sisters saying: God forgive those who, because of their prayers, have kept me bound to this world. That effect of her vision was so deep within her and her constant yearning for Heaven was so burning that she kept repeating Et Gloria Eius in te videbitur. She often tried to imitate the heavenly melody that she heard during the vision upon the violeta that the sisters had given her. On the first Friday of Lent, February 25th, Catherine summoned all her nuns together for what she knew would be her last chapter with them. She gave them heavenly advice, and told them that if they faithfully kept her will and counsel that they would continue to be her dear daughters and that she would never fail to shower her protection on them from heaven. With deep piety and reverence she then received the last Sacraments. Then she handed over to her Confessor the book of The Seven Spiritual Weapons with the special letter she had written. She then asked forgiveness from all the sisters for any indiscretions she might have brought upon any of them, individually. Her last agony began on Sunday. On Wednesday, March 9, 1463, with a face radiant with love, her eyes once again looked tenderly upon all of her sixty beloved sisters in the Monastery. She then lowered her eyes, whispering the name of Jesus three times, and gently gave her soul to God. The Nuns at the Monastery were devastated. They were grief stricken. Catherine of Bologna, their living loving saint was dead! Yet they saw Catherines remains transformed into a figure of celestial beauty covered with a fragrant heavenly scent. As her body was brought into the chapel for the customary funeral rites, and as Catherines body faced the Blessed Sacrament, her face was suddenly changed into a smile. It showed the eternal bliss she was already enjoying in heaven in the presence of her beloved Jesus. The Sisters carried her body to the Monastery cemetery to be buried without a casket. An incredibly sweet fragrance emanated from her body as it was lowered into the grave. That fragrance filled the entire cemetery and all the regions immediately beyond. The fragrance lingered even though there were no trees, or flowers, or herbs near her grave or even within the cemetery. That scent was still there for days when the sisters visited her grave. And then, the miracles began to happen at the grave eighteen days after the interment. People incurably sick were miraculously cured. Then a rush of guilt overwhelmed the nuns they had buried her body without a casket! They imagined masses of earth crushing her face. They imagined every inconceivable thing and they immediately agreed, among themselves, that Catherine's body should be exhumed and placed in a proper well-made casket. They went to the convents confessor and asked his advice. He was amazed that the fragrance remained and so he consented with them for the exhumation. Carefully digging, when the nuns reached Catherines body, they saw that her face appeared only slightly distorted, caused probably by the pressure of the earth upon it. They reverently carried her still flexible and amazingly well preserved body back to the chapel. Catherine of Bologna knew and appreciated that inherent need of the human soul for things of beauty. It was one of the prominent features in her multi-faceted fascinating personality. Appreciating art with its many beautiful expressions endeared her all the more to others. Her naturally gifted intelligence had been further enhanced by the education she received at court. This enabled her to write and paint with ease, whenever she found time from her duties and prayers at the Monastery. The first and probably most important work that she wrote was The Weapons Necessary to the Spiritual Fight. This was written to teach her novices that the path to perfection was difficult. Catherine knew this first hand, and so it was written mainly from her own experiences. Those experiences against the devil by which she, with the Lords assistance, was victorious! Catherine wrote this treatise during those very short intervals whenever she had a moments free time. It was done in her cell. She concealed it, when away, inside the leather cover of her chair. One day, the curiosity of one of the sisters was too much. She found Catherines hiding place. Alarmed Catherine not wanting these special conversations with the Lord to be discovered, took these secrets bundled them up and tossed them into the fire. Her Heavenly Spouse, however, thought differently. Thankfully, what the Lord once had inspired, inspired her to redo them, in their entirety, so that this treasure of spirituality could be learned by the entire community. Catherine was also a poet, a poet in the vein of Saint Francis of Assisi. Remembering his Canticle of Brother Sun she would often speak to her convent in that rhythm. It was quite spontaneous. Even her letter writing had that styling inspiration of rhymes and verses. Because of her noble upbringing and her education in the court, she was very learned musically. Once when seriously ill and bed-ridden she asked the sisters to bring her violin - her violeta. The ability to play a musical instrument was very unusual during that period of time. Catherine even managed to find time to transcribe her Breviary of the daily prayers recited at choir. Patiently and with beautiful penmanship she would also insert her short fervent dialogues with Jesus into the text. With her fine hand she painted miniatures of Jesus as well as other saints, spending many hours illuminating her breviary. Today many of her paintings can be found at the Monastery of Corpus Domini as well as in the Bologna Art Gallery. Catherine of Bologna is considered the patron saint of artists. Wishing to give a synthesis of those special traits that characterized Catherine of Bolognas life, a contemporary wrote: God, like a spouse, was always standing at her side. She was a soul faring on the deep sea of Gods love. It was impossible to bury her body again. Whenever they attempted, it seemed as though a mysterious invisible force would prevent them. They seemingly were pushed back to the choir, close to the Blessed Sacrament altar. Then Catherines face brightened into a smile of joy and reverence towards her Jesus, as it had during the funeral Mass, many days before. Her body appeared even whiter and without any decay whatsoever. The news of these eventful wonders quickly spread throughout the city of Bologna and all the nearby towns. People from far and wide came with reverence and awe, praising the Lord for so exalting His servant, and their Saint Catherine. Before enclosing her body in an altar shaped crypt, many doctors and church authorities examined her body. Her body remained in the crypt until the following Good Friday, when it was opened. Again Catherines body was found well preserved. Catherines body was then brought to the room that she had used during her lifetime, Complications then began to arise. This was a Poor Clare monastery. It was cloistered. Whenever the faithful of the outside world wanted to view her sacred remains, four nuns would reverently carry her body on a stretcher from her room to the choir. Here, her body was placed by a narrow window through which the nuns received the Holy Eucharist during Mass. The many passages and narrow stairs made this extremely difficult. In the meantime, the nuns at the monastery had loved their abbess Mother Catherine during her lifetime, and to show their deep reverence toward her memory, especially having gained the comfort of having her body...which almost seamed to be living in their midst, they refrained from electing a new superior. With her bodily presence with them, they faithfully and continually kept the tenets of her holy teaching. Even if Catherine was actually alive better results could not have been attained. Everything went on so orderly and peacefully because they faithfully kept all of her rules of discipline and teachings. They knew, however, that a year after Catherines death a new abbess had to be elected. None of the nuns considered themselves worthy or ready to accept such and exalted office. As a result, a new abbess was brought to them from the monastery of Ferrara. On the feast of her death, twelve years later, she was placed in a special designed cabinet -- in which she was seated on a chair. The cabinet was brought to the choir near a window that could be opened upon request. In this elevated position, her body could be viewed more easily through the very narrow window between the chapel and the choir. Towards the end of the year 1500, Catherine appeared in a vision to Sister Leonora Poggi. It was during this vision that Catherine requested her body be placed in a special chapel that was easily accessible for those visiting her remains. Catherine gave Leonora detailed instructions as to its location and physical layout. The nuns on their own decided to keep her in this sitting position so that the many pilgrims, who requested to kiss her feet, with reverence and devotion, could continue. The chapel was immediately provided, and the Saint was removed from the wooden reliquary. Catherine remained there for the next 188 years. Then in the spring of 1688 a larger and much more beautiful chapel, immediately adjacent, was completed. It was artistically decorated with frescoes by the famed artists Franceschini, Ahlener, and Quaini. So on August 11, 1688 her body was moved with great reverence and solemnity. It is here that Saint Catherine of Bologna (the Saint) is still enshrined. Making her sanctity more visible to the world, God honored Catherine with innumerable wonders and signs, It was through her holy intercession, not only in Bologna but in numerous other places, that the nuns and other religious, priests and bishops and individuals in all walks of life, were given special favors, abundant graces and other extraordinary miracles. She appeared to hardened sinners, who were then led to sincere contrition, thanks to Catherines gracious counsel. People hopelessly ill, even gangrenous patients, those, whose conditions were judged incurable, received perfect health when they touched objects that had been used by Catherine. Sprained limbs, burns of various degrees. Those with paralysis... those dying of consumption...were healed through our Saints prayers. Interestingly, everything Jesus told John the Baptists disciples (Mt.1 1: 4-5) also happened through Catherines intercessions. As an example, a fifteen-month-old child, whose parents had lost all hope for any recovering, was healed. The little boy was crippled, numbed and close to death because of a violent fever. One of his relatives, the Countess Ippohita Codronchi, told his parents to pray to Catherine, the Saint of Bologna. The child immediately returned to his senses and soon afterward regained his full health! The fame of her miracles soon spread beyond Italy's borders. Many prominent and not so prominent people came to venerate her body. Even the Emperor Charles V, Saint Charles Torromeo, visited her shrine. The visits of many other distinguished, royal and ecclesiastical persons led to almost a public cult of Saint Catherine. Finally in Rome, on Trinity Sunday, May 22. I712, the Pope declared Catherine of Bologna a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. On May 27th a courier reached Bologna with the news, and festive chimes from all the towers, and an evening of fireworks in the major square, made the people of Bologna certain of the great event with that Declaration of Sainthood. The following day, the entire population of Bologna gathered into the Saint Petronitis Basilica to sing the Te Deum, for God had best bestowed a new wonderful gift to the city. They were given a new beloved saint! As another example, on December 26, 1908, a woman, Anna Codice, was given The death sentence by her doctors. She had what was called an incurable disease and was receiving artificial assistance enabling her to breathe. Her parents immediately asked for Catherine's assistance. They had supreme confidence and trust in The Saint; Anna was blessed with the Saints relics. Almost immediately this young woman was off the critical list and soon afterwards was restored to be in perfect health. The greatest miracle, of course, with Our Saint is the glorious and precious relic of Catherines preserved human body. More than five centuries after her death, she is still intact and incorruptible, in her chapel at the Corpus Domini Monastery. While the story of our saint ends here, we, the only church in the United States of America named in her honor, are certain that she continues to intercede for us in heaven. May we proudly continue to praise her and honor her with prayer. 0, incomparable Saint Catherine, whose burning love of Jesus was worthy to receive and enjoy Gods special favors. 0, Saint Catherine, your body made incorruptible even five centuries after your death ---which is proof of your glorious power of intercession in heaven, protect us from the dangers that soil our souls and bodies. May your protection give us strength in our faith, determination in fulfilling our Christian duties, a constant desire for penitence and above all, purity of heart, so that we will be rewarded with our joyful vision of God forever.
