She was endowed in no less degree than St. Teresa of Avila with the gifts of visionary mysticism and literary genius. She felt herself strongly a woman, ascan be seen from her choosing to join the womens movement of her day, that of the Beguines, who dedicated themselves to a life of true spirituality without taking the veil.Hadewijch understood that she was called to communicate to others the profound knowledge of the things of God granted to her in her mystical life. She directed her apostolate to some younger Beguines, and nearly all her writings, both prose and poetry, were intended for them. She mentions other spiritual friends, some in distant countries. Her experiences and her message, however , however, remained hidden; she attained to no celebrity among her contemporaries. The way of immediate fame was for other women mystics. St. Hildegard (1098-1179), the visionary and writer, enjoyed high reputation Clairvaux, and crowned heads. Hadewijchs contemporary, St. Lutgard (1183-1246), was widely known for her visions of the Sacred Heart, which won her the friendship of persons like the Master General of the Dominican Order and Duchess Marie of Brabant (daughter of King Louis VIII of France), and after her death made her tomb a place of pilgrimage. Where Hadewijch was buried, however, no one knows and her writings, after passing through the hands of John of Ruusbroec and his circle, were lost to sight until the nineteenth century.Since the rediscovery of Hadewijch, her importance has been progressively appreciated, and the hidden dimension of her life is now open so that we may share it according to the particular needs of our own day.† Details ISBN0809122979 Series Classics of Western Spirituality (Paperback) Language English ISBN-10 0809122979 ISBN-13 9780809122974 Media Book Format Paperback Imprint Paulist Press International,U.S. Country of Publication United States Translated from Dutch Author Mother Columba Hart Residence US Place of Publication Mahwah Edition New edition Short Title HADEWIJCH REV/E Subtitle The Complete Works DOI 10.1604/9780809122974 AU Release Date 1980-01-01 NZ Release Date 1980-01-01 US Release Date 1980-01-01 UK Release Date 1980-01-01 Pages 448 Publisher Paulist Press International,U.S. Edition Description New edition Year 1980 Translator Columba Hart Publication Date 1980-01-01 DEWEY 839.318109 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
