I am posting links to audio books available for free at Librivox.org; the only books I'm posting are those which I know to be Catholic.  These books are all in the public domain and read by (excellent) volunteers. 

This is a new project, there will be more books to come.

I would recommend you download the zip mp3 file for the entire book rather than individual chapters.  

Enjoy and learn!

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna in 5 parts:

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna part 1 The first part, A Treatise of Divine Providence, discusses love of God, love of neighbor, and how all sins and virtues ultimately hinge on actions towards one's neighbor.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna part 2 The second part of the book, "A Treatise on Discretion", discusses how all good things must be done with discretion, which is part of love; how Christ is like a bridge; how virtues and good works should not be done out of fear or as an end in themselves, but out of love; and how the soul should learn to love God unconditionally as a friend and adopted child, not just for God's good gifts.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna part 3 The third part of the book, "A Treatise on Prayer", discusses all sorts of things: the value of tears, Communion, priests, a good death, and of course prayer.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna part 4 The third part of the book, "A Treatise on Obedience", discusses Christ's obedience, the way that obedience enhances other virtues, and how obedience is promoted by the religious life.

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna part 5 The fifth and final part of the book, comprised of the translator's Introduction (giving historical information), and his appendix, a letter from one of St. Catherine's associates telling about her death.
