(i) Describe St Catherine of Siena’s teaching about being made in the image of God

A

Spent her whole life with outcasts and sinners to show them they were created and loved by god
…she has two important messages from her writtings…
Humans come from god- in the same way children come from their parents or the reflection your mirror shows you. “her dignity is that of her creation, seeing that she is in the image of god”
Love- god creates out of love. The fact that humans are created in god’s dignity and image shows how much he loves them. “you are taken with her love by her love you created her”
