Prayers of St. Catherine of Siena

 

 

Thou, O Lord, callest me, and I come to Thee, not through my merits, but through Thy mercy alone, which I ask of Thee in virtue of Thy Blood.

I confess to my Creator that my life has indeed been passed in darkness, but I will hide myself in the wounds of Christ crucified and bathe myself in His blood, and so shall all my iniquities be consumed, and with desire will I rejoice in my Creator.
