Lovers' Burning Passion for St. Catherine's Feast Day (Song of Songs 8:7)

"Deep waters cannot quench love,
Nor floods sweep it away.
Were one to offer all he owns to purchase love,
He would be roundly mocked."

- Common of Virgins Reading for St. Catherine of Siena

I am a mockery to the world and even to the servants of Your House.  But we build it for You.  I tasted tears of love, and they were like sweetest honey in the bitterness of the long road.  All for love of You, Jesus and Mary.

"Our Lord doesn't look at the greatness of our acts but at the love with which we do them."
- St. Therese of Lisieux
