I, a mere female and a fragile vessel, speak these things not from me but from the serene Light.


letter to Elizabeth of Schönau, 1152–6, in Selected Writings (2001, translated by M. Atherton)


I, a mere female and a fragile vessel, speak these things not from me but from the serene Light.

I, a mere female and a fragile vessel, speak these things not from me but from the serene Light.

I, a mere female and a fragile vessel, speak these things not from me but from the serene Light.

I, a mere female and a fragile vessel, speak these things not from me but from the serene Light.
