A scholarly treatise on the cognitive and epistemological aspects of the "mystical
experience", or "ecstatic union" with God through a careful examination of
the works of Saint John of the Cross, first "Doctor of Mystical Theology" in
the Roman Catholic Church. Mysticism is much, and profoundly, misunderstood.

Today's
Letter from a
Cloistered Nun
|
Queen of the Poor?
Who
are mine ? over whom do I raise my
hand and say, 'These are mine'?
Where is my dwelling place ?
My Son had nowhere, nowhere to lay
His head, His only bed, the cross.
Would I, his mother, have more?
Do I take my seat in the mansions of
the rich, no, but I pass by and call
...
Am I a Queen robed in Gold, drenched
in the riches and honors of this
world?
No, I am robed in compassion and
mercy, my footstep passes the houses
of the great and the hovels of the
poor, for all have need to hear my
call, "come my way to Jesus!"
Do I command that my own will be
done?
No I but pray you will understand my
Son's will is His love outpoured.
Queen of the Poor ?
Behold my kingdom, behold my
dominion: the broken heart of man!
Each one is mine.
All are poor who know not my Son,
all are poor who have cast
themselves into the jaws of sin, all
are poor who know not love.
These are mine, I press them all to
my Immaculate heart; may they hear
its beat of love for I want them for
my Son ...
I am the Queen and pilgrim with and
for the poor, I cry out again, "Come
my way to Jesus ..."
Leave the riches, honor, power of
this world for at the end it will
all pass like the morning dew ...
But, come! Share my riches,
the very love of Christ Jesus my
Son.
