  • Sigrid Undset, Catherine of Siena

    She converted to Catholicism in 1924 and received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928 for her historical fiction Kristen Lavransdatter. She credits her research into medieval times as one of the reason for her entering the Church in 1924. She was a third order Dominican.
    Is it not we miserable sinners who pierced this most innocent heart of Mary at the time of the Passion of the Savior, with countless thousands of shafts of sorrow by our innumerable sins? How greatly are we obliged, then, to render all the honor within
