Meditations With Mechtild of Magdeburg

The spiritual quest begins with an awakening of the soul, spirals through experience, and culminates in a personl rebirthing of both the self and the God in self. In Mechtild's sprituality this overflows as a profound sense of compassion, unity of spiritual and social consciousness and action. Mechtild of Magdeburg, a thirteenth-century mystic, was a prophet who loudly decried the abuses of organized religion and its priests. She made enemies, like many other women in the Middle Ages, but did not cease composing her beautiful poetry. Nor did she stop her actions of the soul from becoming actions in the world of creation. From Mechtild's depiction of her spiritual journey, Flowering Light of the Godhead, Sue Woodruff gleans a series of poignant passages. The result is Meditations with Mechtild of Magdeburg, a sublime meditation on humanity's dignity and the beauty of God's creation. --- from book's back cover
