Saint Catherine of Siena Exchanging Her Heart with Christ

DT508

Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia)
(Italian, Siena 1398–1482 Siena)

The truest form of devotion

Saint Catherine of Sienna floats towards her guiding light

Buildings and structures are pale in comparison

No words are to be spoken for her actions tell all

Both ministers to the poor and plague stricken,

Her black and white compared to his red

The doors of her life wide open

No need to love anyone else

Christ looks down upon her, knowing she would do anything for him

Without him even asking, she gives up her heart

The ultimate sacrifice
