Golden Thoughts from The Spiritual Guide of Miguel Molinos

<h2 class=ql-align-justify><strong><em>Seek silence in the midst of the tumult seek solitude in the masses light in the midst of darkness; find forgetfulness in injury victory in the midst of despondence and courage in the midst of alarm resistance in the midst of temptation peace in the midst of war. - Michael de Molinos.</em></strong></h2><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Joseph Henry Shorthouse was an English novelist. Shorthouse's work was always marked by high earnestness of purpose a luxuriant style and a genuinely spiritual quality. This book is a guide to what has been called Pure Prayer and Contemplative Prayer as well as the Prayer of Quiet by Michael of Molinos (Miguel Molinos) a Spanish mystic. Banned by the Vatican for his book <em>The Spiritual Guide</em> Michael de Molinos started a movement called Quietism. Certainly this work poses a threat to the dominance of final reliance on accepted dogma and the mediation of human authority and the control by ecclesiastical structure.</p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><strong><em>This edition included a biography of Miguel Molinos The Quietist.</em></strong></p><p><br></p>
