Lord, you are my lover, my longing, my flowing stream, my sun, and I am your reflection.
Mechthild of MagdeburgThose who would know much, and love little, will ever remain at but the beginning of a godly life.
Mechthild of MagdeburgI was created in love. For that reason nothing can express my beauty nor liberate me except love alone.
Mechthild of MagdeburgThe day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw all things in God and God in all things.
Mechthild of MagdeburgIf you love the justice of Jesus Christ more than you fear human judgment then you will seek to do compassion. Compassion means that if I see my friend and my enemy in equal need, I shall help them both equally. Justice demands that we seek and find the stranger, the broken, the prisoner and comfort them and offer them our help. Here lies the holy compassion of God that causes the devils much distress.
