(March 25, 1347 April 29, 1380) was a Tertiary\nof the Dominican Order, and a Scholastic philosopher and theologian. She also\nworked to bring the Papacy back to Rome from its displacement in France, and\nto establish peace among the Italian city-states. In about 1366, St Catherine\nexperienced what she described in her letters as a \"Mystical Marriage\" with\nJesus, after which she began to tend the sick and serve the poor. In 1370, she\nreceived a series of visions of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, after which she\nheard a command to leave her withdrawn life and enter the public life of the\nworld. Being illiterate, she dictated several letters to men and women in\nauthority, especially begging for peace between the republics and\nprincipalities of Italy and for the return of the Papacy from Avignon to Rome.\nShe carried on a long correspondence with Pope Gregory XI, also asking him to\nreform the clergy and the administration of the Papal States. St Catherine\ndied of a stroke in Rome, the spring of 1380, at the age of thirty-three. The\npeople of Siena wished to have her body. There is a myth that explains how\nCatherines head was able to get to Siena, where it has been entombed in the\nBasilica of San Domenico. The people of Siena knew they could not get her\nwhole body past Roman guards and decided to take only her head which they\nplaced in a bag. They were still stopped by guards and they prayed to St\nCatherine to help them because they knew Catherine would rather be in Siena.\nWhen they opened the bag to show the guards, it no longer held her head, but\nwas full of rose petals.
