Revelations of a Simple Soul by M. Madeleine Turgeon Fiorino Pdf

A few years ago, as I was praying and meditating, I had a vision. It was a traumatic and terrifying experience for me. In the vision, I was told that God wanted me to write this book. When the contents were revealed to me, it was extremely upsetting and shocking, because most of what I was told was absolutely contrary to all I had ever believed about religion and my faith. The more I tried to put it out of my mind, the more I had a constant gnawing feeling that I was turning my back on God by not obeying what I had been asked to do. Some time later, the identical vision came to me except that this time, I saw the hand of God over Churches, Mosques, Temples, etc. all of a sudden Gods hand descended and everything crumbled and was destroyed. For the first time, I saw the future of religions and I knew I would have to write what had been revealed to me. It is my hope and prayer that my book will be a bridge and a source of strength and enlightenment for many on their spiritual journey. My revelations are intertwined with American Indian spirituality. I wish to emphasize that this is my truth, as it was revealed to me.

Revelations of Divine Love by Julian (of Norwich),Julian of Julian of Norwich Pdf

Julian of Norwich is esteemed as one of the subtlest writers and profoundest thinkers of the English Middle Ages for her account of the revelations that she experienced in 1373. Julian lived as an anchoress in Norwich, and after recovering from a serious illness she described the visions that had come to her during her suffering. She conceived of a loving and compassionate God, merciful and forgiving, and believed in our ability to reach self-knowledge through sin. She wrote of God as our mother, and embraced strikingly independent theological opinions. This translation conveys the poise and serenity of Julian's prose style to the modern reader. It includes both the short and long texts, written twenty years apart, through which Julian developed her ideas.

The Middle English Mystics by Wolfgang Riehle Pdf

Originally published as an English translation in 1981, The Middle English Mystics is a crucial contribution to the study of the literature of English mysticism. This book surveys and analyses the language of metaphor in the writings of such mystics as Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, Julian of Norwich, and in such anonymous works as The Cloud of Unknowing and the Ancrene Wisse. The main emphasis of this comparative and stylistic study is not theological but rather the means by which theological concepts are communicated through language. The book sets the English mystics in perspective by establishing their place in the European mystical movement of the Middle Ages. It shows how intricate the relationship between English, and continental mysticism really is. The book suggests that there is clear links between English and German female mysticism, yet the mysticism is in the main due not so much to specific influences as to the common background of Christian theology and mysticism.

Julian's Gospel by Veronica Mary Rolf Pdf

This fascinating study of the life and work of Julian of Norwich, the 14th century English mystic, whose "Revelations" is among the most popular and influential works of Christian mysticism, is the first book to combine an historical reconstruction of Julian's life in 14th century Norwich with a comprehensive commentary on her Revelations in a new and faithful translation from the Middle English. Unlike other brief summaries of Julian's life and times, this book goes in-depth to uncover the political, cultural, social, and religious milieu that formed and deeply influenced her development as a woman and a mystic. Additionally, unlike other textual companions to Julian's work that provide only short explanations of Middle English words, or merely footnote theological terms, this work gives the reader a detailed analysis of her writings, illuminating her ground-breaking mystical theology with extensive scholarship. Throughout, the book creates a strong dramatic arc for Julian's Revelations that interweaves her personal sufferings and burning questions with her visionary experiences, producing a compelling spiritual biography.

Spirit, Soul, and Body by Andrew Wommack Pdf

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

The Mirror of Simple Souls by Margaret Porette Pdf

When Dr. Romana Guarnieri, in a letter to Osservatore Romano (16 June 1946), announced her discovery that Margaret Porette (d. 1 June 1310) was the author of The Mirror of Simple Souls, certainly a major French document of pre-Reformation spirituality, a sensation was created in the academic world. Although The Mirror is one of the few heretical documents to have survived the Middle Ages in its entirety, both its title and its authorship were among the most persistent and troublesome problems of scholarly research in the field of medieval vernacular languages. The Mirror, in its original French, survives only in the fifteenth-century manuscript which the great Condé (Louis II de Bourbon) had acquired for his palace at Chantilly. And, so far as can be known, all that remains with which to compare the readings of this manuscript text are those translations of The Mirror which, also in manuscript, are to be found in Latin, Italian, and Middle English. This edition of The Mirror of Simple Souls is a translation from the French original with interpretive essays by Edmund Colledge, O.S.A., Judith Grant, and J.C. Marler, and a foreword by Kent Emery, Jr. The translators of this Modern English version rely primarily on the French, yet take other medieval translations into account. As a result, this edition offers a reading of The Mirror which solves a number of difficulties found in the French, and the introductions contributed by the translators narrate the archival history of the book, for which Margaret Porette was burned alive in Paris in 1310.

A Revelation of Love by Julian (of Norwich) Pdf

Few texts have held such interest or been the object of such enduring devotion as has Julian of Norwich's classic, A Revelation of Love. John Skinner's translation offers today's reader the immediacy of one of the most powerful books in the English language. Julian's message of God's intimate and enabling love is revealed as both beguiling and inescapable. The poetry and rhythmic structure of the original Middle-English are respected, and her earthy and direct style is still discernible. Julian's key ideas and her unique system of thought are expertly introduced by a brief commentary at the head of each chapter, together with further informative footnotes and a detailed glossary. Julian of Norwich was born sometime in December 1342 and probably lived until around 1430. We do not know the exact dates of her birth and death, or even her real name, but we do know the exact date of her Revelation, 8th May 1373. Julian lived as an anchorite, a hermit walled up in a couple of rooms propped up against the walls of St Julian's Church in Conesford Street, Norwich, following a strict religious life. The tradition of English mysticism was at its height in the late-fourteenth century, and Julian's own writing can be seen as part of this development in spirituality. A mystic has a heightened awareness of the presence of God, and through this receives direct tangible communication from Him. Julian's message is that this does not mean the mystic is an extraordinary person, set apart from the rest of us - rather there is a mystic in all of us, if only we will attend. All our common calling in this life is to come to know God and experience the touchings of His love. There can be no doubt that Lady Julian is the greatest of the English mystics. Thomas Merton John Skinner is well known as a writer and lecturer on spirituality, with a special interest in the English mystics. Foremerly a journalist with The Times. he was a Jesuit for thirteen years. It was while he was still a novice that he found Julian's mystical writing, setting in process a lifelong relationship with Julian's mystical path. He is the author of Hear Our Silence, a popular study of the English Carthusians, informed by the experience of living within a Carthusian community, and Sounding the Silence, an exploration of ways to engage with the intense experience of silence in prayer - both books are also published by Gracewing.
