“In that time and by God's will there died my mother, who was a great hindrance unto me in following the way of God; my husband died likewise, and in a short time there also died all my children. And because I had commenced to follow the aforesaid way and had prayed God that He would rid me of them, I had great consolation of their deaths, albeit I did also feel some grief.” WayFeelsChildrenMotherGriefFamilyHusbandDiedFollowingGods WillMy ChildrenMy HusbandConsolationShort TimeHindrance Book:The Book of Divine Consolation of the Blessed Angela of Foligno Source: The Book of Divine Consolation of the Blessed Angela of Foligno
“... God cometh sometimes unto the soul when it hath neither called, nor prayed unto, nor summoned Him. And He doth instil into the soul a fire and a love and a sweetness not customary, wherein it doth greatly delight and rejoice ... Thus doth the soul feel that God is mingled with it and hath made companionship with it.” FeelsMadeSoulSometimesFireDelightRejoiceCompanionshipSweetness Author:Angela of Foligno
