Description: |
Angela of Foligno: Complete Works is a significant contribution to Christian mystical literature. Translated by Paul Lachance, OFM, and edited by Romana Guarnieri, it is part of the Classics of Western Spirituality series.
Angela of Foligno (c. 1248?1309) was a Franciscan tertiary and mystic whose writings offer profound insights into the spiritual journey. Her work is divided into two main sections:
1. The Memorial: This part chronicles Angela's intense mystical experiences, including visions and encounters with the "suffering God-man." Her reflections delve into themes of divine love, humility, and the transformative power of suffering. 2. The Instructions: In this section, Angela provides spiritual guidance to her followers. Through letters and exhortations, she imparts wisdom on living a devout life, emphasizing the importance of inner purity, devotion, and the pursuit of divine union. |
