“O tender Father, you gave me more, much more than I ever thought to ask for. I realize that our human desires can never really match what you long to give us.
Thanks, and again, thanks, O Father, for having granted my petitions, and that which I never realized I needed or petitioned. Amen.” St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)

Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) in At Prayer with the Saints, compiled by Anthony F. Chiffolo (Liguori, MO: Liguori, 1998) 181.
