Romancing God

Seeking union with God, Spanish mystic Ramon Lull (1232-1315) describes the mystical ascent of the soul to God in the ecstatic language of love. The two selections in this volume include a love letter to God in exalted and lyrical prose, and an accessible guide to religious contemplation, covering topics such as prayer, the sacraments, and virtue. Henry Carrigan`s mild modernization of this classic will introduce Lull`s lyrical spirituality to a whole new group of lovers of God. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
