Spiritual Works & Journeys

<p><em>Spiritiual Works & Journeys </em>is the eleventh volume of the long-awaited “New Light on the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich” series. In parts one and two the visionary speaks of “action in vision” in the “nuptial house” and “vineyard” whereby she labors for souls. Parts three and four continue this theme in a wider framework such as the “two churches” “planetary influences” St. Michael and spiritual warfare and the Church Militant. Part five recounts fascinating spiritual journeys on behalf of the well-being of the souls of others.</p><p>Anne Catherine Emmerich was born on September 8 1774 at Flamske Germany. From early childhood she was blessed with the gift of spiritual sight and lived almost constantly in inner vision of scenes of the Old and New Testaments. Later her visions became concerned primarily with the life of Jesus Christ although they encompassed also the lives of many saints and other personages (some unknown to history) as well as far-reaching insights into many other mysteries. In 2004 she was beatified by Pope John Paul II.</p><p>This series supplements an earlier Angelico publication: <em>The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich</em> Books I–III. In 2009 the original notes of Anne Catherine’s visions (in 38 notebooks) became for the first time available for reference and the present series incorporates much new material translated therefrom. With regard to both individuals and themes every reference thus far located in the notes and in prior translations have been woven together so the reader can find in one place almost all of what Anne Catherine had to say on each topic.</p><p>As regards the series as a whole virtually every individual in the biblical visions (approximately 250 in total) is referenced in the five <em>People of the New Testament</em> volumes. <em>The Life of the Virgin Mary</em> is dedicated to Mary (and her Essene ancestry) and <em>Scenes from the Lives of the Saints</em> treats of fifty-nine saints. The present volume forms a set with <em>Mysteries of the Old Testament</em> and two further volumes cover a multitude of separate themes: <em>Inner Life and Worlds of Soul & Spirit</em> and <em>Spiritual Works and Journeys</em>. The final volume is <em>The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich</em>.</p>
