In observing the feast of St. Catherine, my thoughts have gone back to the many pilgrimages to Italy we've made over the years, and we have gone frequently to the wonderful city of Siena on our way from Assisi back to Rome. Not only is Siena a center of devotion to St. Catherine and St. Bernardine, but there is a Eucharistic miracle there. We've often celebrated Mass in the chapel where the miraculous Hosts are reserved, and on more than one occasion I have had the privilege of giving Benediction with these Hosts.
