St. Catherine of Sweden

Feast date: Mar 24

St. Catherine was born near the beginning of the fourteenth century to parents Ulfo and St. Bridget of Sweden. At the age of seven, Catherine was sent to the Abbey at Risburgh by her parents and placed under the care of the abbess to receive an education and to build a foundation for her spiritual life.

At the age of 13, Catherine was taken from the abbey and given in marriage to Egard, a German nobleman. Upon meeting Egard, Catherine persuaded him to make a mutual vow of perpetual chastity with her. Catherine and Egard dedicated themselves to the service of God and encouraged each other in works of mortification, prayer and charity.

Around the year 1349, after the death of her father, Catherine accompanied her mother on a pilgrimage to Rome to visit the relics of the Roman Martyrs. The two spent several years living in Rome. In 1373 St. Bridget died and Catherine returned to Sweden with her mother’s body. Two years later, Catherine returned to Rome to promote the cause for her mother’s canonization and to gain approval for a Rule she had written for a group of religious women.

After gaining approval for her rule, Catherine returned to Sweden and became abbess of Vadzstena. Catherine served as abbess of Vadzstena until her death in 1381. During the final 25 years of her life, Catherine was known for her austere lifestyle and her practice of making daily use of the Sacrament of Confession.

St. Catherine was canonized in 1484 by Pope Pius II.

  • Daughter of the Church

    In 1484, Pope Innocent VIII gave permission for Catherine’s veneration as a saint and her feast was assigned to 22 March in the Roman Martyrology.
    The feast in question occur two days ago. Here is an other scandalous transition of a date by the usurping hierarchy of the counter-church daring naming itself the “Roman Catholic Church” while it has been the Synagogue of Satan for over 66 years undr the tenure of its sixth antipope. The systematic changes of liturgical feasts combined with the awful erasing of key dates is a part of the deconstruction of the Church of JC. The authentic feast of to day March 24 is of Saint Gabriel, Archangel, the one chosen by God to announce to the Blessed Virgin Mary that she was to be the Mother of Christ.

    Saint Gabriel on this day in 1946, made a secret announcement to the Italian mystic Maria Valtorta, not to be revealed because men do not deserve to know of the future of mankind. This saying, starting by an “Ave Maria” was much more terrible than the secret of Fatima. It is no wonder the servants of Satan, wish to blot-out the name of the archangel. Once again the useful idiots of the devil, employed at the CNA disinformation agency are drowning the masses of faithful into criminal ignorance.
