The Kingdom of the Lovers of God (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Kingdom of the Lovers of God
Incomparably the greatest of all Christian mystics, Jan Ruysbroeck was born in the year 1293, at the village of Ruysbroeck, near Brussels. Ordained in due course to the priesthood, he exercised his sacred office at the Church of St. Gudule. At the age of sixty, in accordance with the advice of Lambert the Hermit, he betook himself to a life of silence and contemplation in the heart of the forest of Soignes, settling finally "in Valle Viridi," or Gronendal, where he founded a priory, the ruins of which are still existent. There he became Prior of the Canons Regular (or Hermits) of St. Augustine, a college of priests once greatly esteemed in England. Visited by Gerhard Groot, John Thauler and other notable persons of that period, his fame spread far and wide, and won for him the title of Admirabilis, whilst later times have conferred upon him the distinction of Doctor Ecstaticus. He died on the second day of December, 1381, having written twelve books, seven epistles, two hymns, and a prayer.
