Wisdom from the Medieval Mystic

Posted on July 14, 2013 by opreach

The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw and knew I saw God in all things and all things in God.

– Mechtild of Magdeburg

Mechtild a Beguine, was a medieval mystic, who lived c. 1207 – c. 1282/1294.

One wonders how the thistle was ever discovered to be edible! Is it anymore difficult to find God there?
