Marguerite Porete - Selected Verses from "The Mirror of Simple Souls" - Christian Mystics
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лют 2021
- Marguerite Porete (13th century - 1 June 1310) was a French-speaking mystic and the author of The Mirror of Simple Souls, a work of Christian mysticism dealing with the workings of agape (divine love). She was burnt at the stake for heresy in Paris in 1310 after a lengthy trial, refusing to remove her book from circulation or recant her views. It was reported in a chronicle that the crowd was moved to tears by the calmness of how she faced her end.
Porete's life is recorded only in accounts of her trial for heresy, at which she was condemned to be burnt at the stake. Porete's biography is probably biased and certainly incomplete. She was said to come from the County of Hainaut, a French-speaking principality in the Holy Roman Empire, though this is uncertain. Her high level of education means she is likely to have had upper-class origins. She is associated with the beguine movement and was therefore able to travel fairly freely.

Dear Listener, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ADS to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that - I have no control over it. However, there are many ways to overcome this on your end though. You can pay for a UA-cam Premium subscription and have no ads appear on any videos. Or you can simply install and ad blocker and/or change your browser to Brave Browser - it blocks all ads on all sites. This is the best solution I have found and have installed it on my Android and it works a treat to block ads on all websites. It works on PCs, Androids, and iphone.

We tarry with the idea of freewill. The Reality functions spontaneously regardless of will. Love is the realisation that will is a fear-based response to existence. The mind depends on will in order to have influence. Just let go. Thank you Ms Porete. I love you.
Porete is one of the very highest Christian mystics. Her book needs a better translation than the one I read. The selection of quotes on this recording is superb, however. Thank you!
Postcards from the realm of the unspeakable: “Weather nice. Wish you were here.”
Wow. Thank you sj. Needed a few tissues with this recording. Had never heard of Marguerite but looked her up before listening and I guess learning of her fate caused me to feel sad about the persecution of divine, powerful beings , but there was love in the tears also. This soul says thank you, thank you, thank you . 🙏❤️🌹
Truly a martyr
Dear Sister. The gift you have given with this channel to all struggling life is a precious jewel beyond measure.. These are words to enlighten even the darkest corners. May your good work be blessed always.
God is love. Love never condemns. Hence, condemnation does not come God.
I chose to write about Porete in my philosophy class today; upon reading and listening to this poem, it has revealed a question I had for 30 years. It feels like I dropped a cloud of mind that lingered in my brain for a long time. Thank you Jayasara
Thank you as always Sister. I do try to practice non attachment, but I admit... I am attached to your channel! 🤣 🙏🌿
“The kingdom of God is within you.”
Im very grateful for your uploads.
Ordinary people, believes.
I am spell bound, and can only wish that I had been led to such wisdom when I began this Blessed path on which God has guided me.
With the world as it is today; I am utterly grateful that the all brought me this channel to rapture me.
I absolutely love the Christian Mystics series:)
So beautiful ! What a heroine she was . In gratitude Lucy
SJ, You've opened my heart with your BeYOUtiful Angelic voice, learning from women of such depth it makes me sad that we live in a patriarchal world of materialism. I once was lost but now I'm found, I once was blind now I can see. Thank you for sharing your magnificent wisdom and theirs.
I too am touched to my depths with Marguerite's words and the delicacy in which you read them, I know everything and I know nothing. The ultimate truth. Timeless.
I'll be coming back to this video repeatedly. Thank you
