St. Bonaventure<\/span> (c. 1217-1274) \/ The Mind\u2019s Road to God<\/em>: Italian Franciscan and Doctor of the Church.<\/p>\n

The Cloud of Unknowing<\/em>: late 14th century anonymous English work.<\/p>\n

Theologia Germanica<\/em>: late 14th century work by an anonymous German priest (member of the Teutonic Order).<\/p>\n

Thomas \u00e0 Kempis (c. 1380-1471) \/ The Imitation of Christ<\/em>: German Augustinian.<\/p>\n

St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510): Italian layperson.<\/p>\n

St. Teresa of Avila<\/span> (1515-1582): Spanish Carmelite and Doctor of the Church.<\/p>\n

St. John of the Cross<\/span> (1542-1591): Spanish Carmelite and Doctor of the Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Introduction by the Anglo-Catholic expert on mysticism, Evelyn Underhill. The collection includes five women and five Doctors of the Church. Orders of the Church included are Dominican (3), Augustinian (2), Carmelite (2), Franciscan, and Cistercian.<\/p>\n

Here is an example:<\/p>\n

[I]n the abundance of My charity, I give them time, and do not order the earth to open and swallow them up on account of their sins. I even wait for them, and command the earth to give them of her fruits, the sun to give them light and warmth, and the sky to move above them. And in all things created and made for them, I use My charity and mercy, withdrawing neither on account of their sins. I even give equally to the sinner and the righteous man, and often more to the sinner than to the righteous man, because the righteous man is able to endure privation, and I take from him the goods of the world that he may the more abundantly enjoy the goods of heaven. So that in worldly men My mercy and charity shine, . . .<\/p>\n

(St. Catherine of Siena, The Dialogue<\/em>, \u201cA Treatise of Prayer\u201d)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many<\/em> excerpts are linked on the Info-page.\u00a0at the top.<\/p>\n

I was greatly blessed and felt that I grew spiritually in compiling this book. Wonderful\u00a0authors, lots of edifying and educational thoughts collected . . . My favorite of all was St. Teresa of Avila, but it\u2019s tough to choose, among all these priceless spiritual treasures.<\/p>\n

The great disappointment was not finding any Orthodox mystical books not in copyright. I wanted to include at least St. Gregory Palamas or the Philokalia<\/em>, but I came up with nothing. The latter is available at Internet Archive, but I\u2019m not at all sure if it is public domain. The text seems to be a 1979 translation.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to include Matthias Scheeben<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0Mysteries of Christianity<\/em> (late 19th century), but it seems to be copyrighted and not online.<\/p>\n

I wanted St. Hildegard of Bingen<\/a> (1098-1179; Doctor of the Church), too, but there is nothing<\/em>\u00a0to speak of in English, that is also public domain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I decided to start after 1000 AD, because I already have compiled three books of quotations of the Church Fathers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
