SUMMARY:Saint Colette
DESCRIPTION:Saint Colette\nSaint of the Day for February 7\n(January 13\, 1381 – March 6\, 1447)\nClick to hear audio clip ►\nSaint Colette’s Story\nColette did not seek the limelight\, but in doing God’s will she certainly attracted a lot of attention. Colette was born in Corbie\, France. At 21\, she began to follow the Third Order Rule and became an anchoress\, a woman walled into a room whose only opening was a window into a church. \nAfter four years of prayer and penance in this cell\, she left it. With the approval and encouragement of the pope\, she joined the Poor Clares and reintroduced the primitive Rule of St. Clare in the 17 monasteries she established. Her sisters were known for their poverty—they rejected any fixed income—and for their perpetual fast. Colette’s reform movement spread to other countries and is still thriving today. Colette was canonized in 1807. \n\nReflection\nColette began her reform during the time of the Great Western Schism (1378-1417) when three men claimed to be pope and thus divided Western Christianity. The 15th century in general was a very difficult one for the Western Church. Abuses long neglected cost the Church dearly in the following century. Colette’s reform indicated the entire Church’s need to follow Christ more closely.
