Excerpt from Love's Gradatory
The text of Pomerius was edited by the Bollandists (vol. Iv., 1885) from a manuscript in the' Royal Library at Brussels, and other Lives of Blessed John Ruysbroeck are but reproduc tions of this. Another precious document now at Brussels is a Prologue inserted at the begin ning of a complete manuscript of the works of Blessed John Ruysbroeck, bearing the date 1461. The writer of this declares himself: I, a successor of that enlightened man, John van Ruysbroeck, who with the Provost founded his cloister of Groenendael.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ascent of the soul toward God through a series of seven spiritual steps. The author, writing in the 14th century, draws upon the tradition of Christian mysticism, particularly the work of St. Bonaventura, to illuminate the path to spiritual perfection. Each step, outlined in detail, represents a distinct stage of spiritual growth: goodwill, voluntary poverty, purity, humility, nobility of virtue, and ultimately, the unknowable and eternal repose. The text delves into the intricacies of each step, exploring how they manifest in the daily life of the individual, and offering guidance on cultivating these virtues. The author also discusses three methods of honoring God, each encompassing three distinct practices. These methods, rooted in a love for God that transcends self-interest, provide practical strategies for deepening one's spiritual life. The book is a rich and insightful exploration of the mystical path, providing a profound understanding of the inner life and the soulââ â¢s journey toward divine union.
