Beauty

I have been meaning to show you all
the Icon of St. Katherine
that I got at the
monastery
back in August.
*
Yes, things may be a bit hard for me right now
but how deep is God's love
and how great and powerful are the prayers of His Saints for us.
*
For the love and sake of Christ
all our suffering will indeed be

My mom's Patron Saint (even though she isn't Orthodox or particularly Christian) is St. Katherine and I bought her an icon of St. Katherine when she was going through her second breast cancer battle.

She is one of my favorite saints, and I love her icon.

I love the icon. She's one of my favorite saints too and also the Patron of my youngest daughter. I so want to go to her monastery someday.

The Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge (where I've just spent part of the weekend) is dedicated to St Katherine.
