The Life of S. of God Baptista of Piacenza, Virgin, Third Order (d. 1515) for the Franciscan Saint of the Day for Oct 17. Baptista entered a convent in Piacenza, loved poverty, prayer, and penance. She had a
devotion to the eucharist and a contemplative spirit.
Reflection is on preparation for receiving the blessed sacrament to provide a good resting place for the Lord, yet to not descend into scrupulosity.
