Episode 1 – The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena: St. Catherine and the Four Treatises

Welcome to The Commentaries season on The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena! Your host Sister Mary Madeline Todd, OP, starts the journey by explaining why she feels St. Catherine chose her to lead you deeper and closer to Christ.

The Dialogue flows from a conversation in prayer that Catherine had with God the Father.

It covers four major topics:

1. Divine Providence

2. Discretion

3. Prayer

4. Obedience

Sister Mary Madeline delves deeper into the preface and introduction of the book and explains why a reader must understand the mindset of the Middle Ages to understand St. Catherine’s inspiring work.
