Angela da Foligno


Born
Foligno, Italy
Died
December 11, 1308

Genre


Angela da Foligno, T.O.S.F., (1248 – 4 January 1309) was an Italian Franciscan tertiary who became known as a mystic from her extensive writings about her mystical revelations. Due to the respect they engendered in the Catholic Church, she is known as "Mistress of Theologians".
Angela was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to accept becoming an enclosed religious order that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. It is still active.
The Catholic Church declared Angela to be a saint in 2013.

Also listed as Angela of Foligno or Angela von Foligno.

“The more you pray, the more illumined you will be and the more profoundly and intensely you will see the supreme Good, the supremely good Being; the more profoundly and intensely you see him, the more you will love him...”
Angela of Foligno

“Anyone who wishes to preserve grace must not lift the eyes of his soul from the Cross, either in the joy or in the sadness that I grant or permit him.”
Angela of Foligno

“True and pure love, that comes from God, is in the soul and ensures that one recognizes one’s own shortcomings and the divine goodness... Such love brings the soul to Christ, and it understands with certainty that in him no deception can be found or can exist. No particle of worldly love can be mingled with this love.”
Angela of Foligno
