[St. Catherine of Siena] refused to tolerate any faintheartedness in the service of God.  She was utterly convinced that when the salvation of souls was at stake being unduly tolerant or understanding with mediocrity was totally unacceptable, because it is in effect only a concession to laziness or cowardice.

Francis Fernandez
