"Catherine of Siena is one of three women who have been honored by Catholic Christianity as Doctor of the Church, because of the depth of her writing on the spiritual life. She often began her prayers, 'O Divine Madman.' When this brilliant, fiery Italian woman was asked to describe the God of her journey, she whispered, 'He is pazzo'd'amore, ebro d'amore--he is crazed with love, drunk with love."
--Brennan Manning's Ruthless Trust
When I read the way this woman described God, I couldn't help but smile. So different from the way most view God today....
