Utter, when one descends from such great height, I have been in that heaven he makes most bright,Īnd seen things neither mind can hold nor tongue More radiant in one part and elsewhere less Here is Dante, in the opening lines of the Paradise: The glory of the One who moves all things Consider it both a shortcoming and a strength, or perhaps an inclination toward a different kind of strength, a different faculty and power. ( The Book of Margery Kempe, chapter 57 1521) And this manner of crying lasted for a period of ten years. And the more she tried to keep herself from crying, the louder she cried, for it was not in her power to take it or leave it, but as God would send it. Her mind was drawn wholly into the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, whom she beheld with her spiritual eye in the sight of her soul as truly as if she had seen his precious body beaten, scourged and crucified with her bodily eye, which sight and spiritual beholding worked by grace so fervently in her mind, wounding her with pity and compassion, so that she sobbed, roared and cried, “I die, I die,” so that many people were astonished at her, and wondered what was the matter with her. Or we may think of that good woman Margery Kempe, attending Mass on Good Friday: The memory of our Lady’s sorrows, which she suffered when she beheld his precious body hanging on the cross and then buried before her eyes, suddenly filled the heart of this creature. “Stab me in the heart, Jesus,” cries the fat wife of the hired man in Flannery O’Connor’s story Greenleaf, as she takes newspaper clippings of disasters and plagues and murders and spreads them on the ground in the woods, flopping down upon them and flailing and moaning like a fabulous beast in the paroxysms of sexual heat. Am I not of all things the most fragrant and the sweetest?” (folio 107, verso). Am I not the freest to give good things? For people will say of a generous man who can hold nothing back that he has his hands pierced-as mine are. If it is to give, where can you bestow it better than upon me? Am I not the most beautiful of all things. The Rule for Anchorites begs the women to imagine Jesus as a wooer of their souls who says to them, “Your love-it is either to give, or to sell, or to be ravished and taken by main force. This is precisely what a nameless priest once recommended to the women in his charge, anchorites, each living alone in her cell. And of course it is not wrong to experience him in this way. When the great women saints and mystics speak of God, he is the passionate one who pursues them, who invites them into a personal relationship. Consider the differences in how men and women see, how they view the world. When speaking of differences between men and women, we must speak in general terms, because man and woman are more alike than unlike, and though they may strive to reach the true home of the soul by separate ways, yet the home is ultimately the same.
