After watching a historical piece on the Beguines, I was presented with this series on four mystics. Lovely synchronicities like this make me wonder if angels are the AI of TH-cam. Thank you, Father Earl, I found all four presentations comprehensive yet succinct. For my studies on mysticism they are timely and delightful. I paused Catherine of Siena to watch all four. With this last vid immediately I searched for Evelyn’s books and, sure enough, gutenberg, the free book site, has four including the one, Ruysbroeck. Her 1911 book isn’t there probably because, as you said, it’s still in print. But her 1915 is there and sounds just right as she entitled it: Practical Mysticism: A Little Book for Normal People. As our President has gotten many of us into the habit of saying (copying him): “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Blessings.
