A Quote for Monday: Blessed John Paul II (and St. Catherine of Siena)

If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze!


--Blessed John Paul II

This quote is actually from St. Catherine of Siena, but I first saw it in Colleen Swaim excellent new book: Ablaze: Stories of Daring Teen Saints.  I reviewed the book in my July Catholic Post column, and interviewed Colleen about the book here.

Here's the original quote from St. Catherine of Siena:  

"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." 
— St. Catherine of Siena
