Excerpt from St. Catherine De' Ricci: Her Life, Her Letters, Her Community
St Catherine De' Ricci, one of the three canonized Dominican women of the "Third Order," holds a different position from that of either her great predecessor and namesake of Siena or the Saint of the New World who was a little girl when she died, Rose of Lima. These two were "Tertiaries" in the strict sense of the word, remaining inmates of their respective parents' houses to the end of their lives.
St Catherine de' Ricci, on the contrary, was not only a "conventual" tertiary, but she belonged to a community which, although of the Third Order, was enclosed behind a grille and led a strictly contemplative life. Its members had nothing to do with hospitals, orphanages, schools, or any kind of charitable institutions, doing no "active" work except what was absolutely needful for their own support: - such as needlework or confectionery, etc., which they sold; and even these occupations were lessened as far as possible under Catherines rule, to give more time for prayer. In fact, had it not been that their constitutions were of a less severe nature as to fast and abstinence, the sisters of her convent might almost as well have belonged to the Second Order as to the Third. Hence it is as a model rather of a contemplative nun, than of what we in England usually understand by a conventual tertiary, that this contemporary of St Philip Neri and St Mary Magdalen de' Pazzi must be regarded.
Again, wide as was her acquaintance with "seculars" of every kind, so that her life was by no means a hidden one like St Rose's, the nun of Prato was not a great historical character like St Catherine of Siena, whose wonderful vocation was clearly inconsistent with a cloistered life.
