Catherine of Genoa: Purgation and Purgatory, the Spiritual Dialogue
Overview
Catherine of Genoa (1447–1510), a married lay woman, was a mystic and a humanitarian, and a constant contemplative who cared for the sick and destitute. Purgation and Purgatory is a collection of sayings on spiritual purification in this life and the next. The Spiritual Dialogue gives readers an easily grasped and coherent inner history of Catherine. These powerful expressions of her spiritual inner-life still impact readers today.

Top Highlights
“Her life may appear unusual but it need not. Anyone in love with God is afire, whether he or she lives at home, in a poustinia or in the depths of a contemplative monastery. A soul in love with God radiates love. Though mystics are not like other people, they are not aware of their difference. They go about life simply, humbly, easily.” (Page xiii)
