Burn It Down With Love

 Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Catherine of Sienna. I tend to talk about her...muchly. Today, her feast day, I am going to write a little bit about why. 

 She spoke Italian, so her really famous quote can be translated into English a couple different ways. My favorite is "be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire". I sometimes can't get over how much I love this quote. It is the screensaver on my phone. It really just sums up how I feel about life and love. 

 

 I believe in souls and God. I believe that he created each person's soul with loving kindness. He breathes life into our souls and ignites a flame of love. He gives us this little burning. We carry it around all day, slowly growing into amazing people, feeding this flame. Eventually, we find our place. We find that one thing that makes the flame erupt into an inferno, consuming everything around us. 

 It is amazing to see people who have found their path. You can see the love they are pouring out and it makes you love them back. They care so much about what is important to them. 

 So, I guess....do what you love, and love will be what you do. 

 Thank you, St. Catherine for just being totally awesome :)
