A picture of newly born child was tweeted recently. A story about a new born in Nigeria 2 days ago reported mother and child doing well. Another story was different: newborn lived; mother died of Covid-19 6 days later. More stories will emerge about people born as others struggle to live.
During the 14th-C pandemic births included a saint. Catherine of Siena was born as it flared in Italy. “Her writings can help us to respond more fully to how God might be calling each of us in the midst of the current pandemic,” wrote America senior editor J.D. Long-García. Mr. Long-Garcia sampled some of Catherine's words to savour.
During this time of social isolation, we can wade into St. Catherine’s writings and into dialogue with God. At a time when many of us feel helpless, Catherine can lead us into a deeper union with God, to become friends of God and servants to our neighbors.https://t.co/wTHcncFR8M— America Magazine (@americamag) April 29, 2020
