This month Maria Oen about the mystic, saint, and founder of the Bridgettines, Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373)! We talk about her life in Italy, her insistence on the Pope returning to Rome, and her status as a daughter-in-law to the Virgin Mary. Listen at shorturl.at/dlnB9

Episode 52 on the Prussian anchoress and visionary, Dorothea of Montau (d. 1394) features the wonderful Genevieve Caufield! We talk about sensory perceptions, trading her heart for a fiery, fleshy lump, and declarations of orthodoxy! Listen at shorturl.at/guVY7. #mysticism

Today, I am finding myself thinking back to this "teenage rebel of the 13th century". It is always great to talk to Sean about thirteenth-century Italian mystics... #mysticism My Favourite Mystic Podcast
