Excerpt from The Spiritual Espousals: Translated From the Dutch, With an Introduction

This repertory, with its careful and ingenious relation of each item to the Beatitudes and to the deadly sins, a wonderful example in itself of the skill of the medieval rhetorician, is also a percipient catalogue of the excesses into which pride, disobedience, anger and the rest have led, and still lead, distracted humanity; and in its recognition of human society for what it is when it forgoes the grace of God, it is as much removed from the Quietism of his day as from the belief so prevalent now that society can somehow render itself innocuous without superior aid.

Ultimately, this book offers a compelling vision of the human potential for spiritual enlightenment, reminding us that the journey towards God is not merely an intellectual pursuit but a profound transformation of the whole being.
