St. Catherine's Labyrinth
Text in labyrinth:
Imagine
a
circle traced on the ground, and in its center a tree sprouting with a
shoot grafted into its side. The tree finds its nourishment
in the
soil within the expanse of the circle, but uprooted from the soil it
would be fruitless. So think of the soul as a tree made for
love and
living only by love. The circle in which this tree's root,
the soul's
love, must grow is true knowledge of herself, knowledge that is joined
to me, who like the circle have neither beginning nor end.
You can go
round and round within this circle, finding neither end nor beginning,
yet never leaving the circle. So the tree of charity is
nurtured in
humility and branches out in true discernment. To me this
tree yields
the fragrance of glory and praise to my name, and so it does what I
created it for and comes at least to its goal, to me, everlasting life.
St.
Catherine of Siena
