Love (that is, God) knows all of us by virtue of His omniscience, and His creation of us all. However, the relationship that we have with God changes when we enter into that love that He has made available to us. We know, and are known, in a more intimate and personal way than before. I think that is what Hadewijch meant. And, to be fair, she had just confessed that she hardly had the words to say what she wanted to say :)Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982931507445593579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830690166845266655.post-70952796163400827972009-12-12T00:13:00.383-05:002009-12-12T00:13:00.383-05:00This is quite incredible and makes me want to read...This is quite incredible and makes me want to read that book. Only one line bothered me a little, and maybe I'm just misreading it: "And even that which I could say of it would be incomprehensible to all who hadn't confessed this love by means of acts of passion and who were not known by Love." Who is not known by Love? We can all reject that Love, but we're all known by it. The language sounds a bit exclusive. Other than that, wow. I loved the bit about her desiring suffering as well, and turning it into something good. Too often, I don't realize the opportunities I have to sanctify my suffering.Loreleihttp://www.facebook.com/lorelei.bleil?ref=profilenoreply@blogger.com
