Indeed Catherine’s hands did develop leprosy but love for this woman (who often had an ungrateful heart for Catherine’s care) did not stop the virgin from caring for her. When at last the woman died, Catherine herself washed and dressed the disease-ridden body, prepared it for burial, placed it tenderly in a casket, said the prayers and covered the casket with her own hands. Whereupon, Catherine’s hands were miraculously cured and her hands appeared as more youthful than they had been. Such is the love and faith in God that the great saints had.

She was also responsible for persuading the Pope to return to Rome from his exile in France, and was perhaps his chief adviser. In other words, she restored the Vatican.

She would be a good person to pray to in hope of reforming our present Pope and Church.
