It was something like this that I heard. I heard it from a Franciscan priest from Italy that went there. So wait, does this mean that St. Catherine's body sat up in obedience to the Abbess, after she had been dead for some years? (not dead, more alive in Heaven, but her body) Whoa! That's pretty awesome.

Well... the book said that after 12 years of carrying her back and forth, the nuns realized that it would be easier if she would sit in a chair... but since rigor mortis had not set in, her body would not stay in any position. Then the abbess told her to sit, and her body stiffened into the position it can be seen today.

I have heard that too.. that sometimes her eyes open and close... Its so amazing!

May you walk eternally in God's footsteps!! :
