Golden Thoughts From The Spiritual Guide Of Miguel Molinos - The Quietist #465226

“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.

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 The Spiritual Guide, 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.

This edition included a biography of Miguel Molinos, The Quietist.
