Praise for The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Book II
“Among the burdens of our age is an inability to tune our hearts to poetry. Yet it is poetry to which we turn, says the Angelic Doctor, when that which we contemplate does not find sufficient expression in rhetoric or prose. What things do not? Mysteries. Mysteries we engage with our hearts, and the language of the heart is poetry. How fitting that it is a poet, Clemens Brentano, by whose hand we come to know the mysteries of the heart of Anne Catherine Emmerich. And how fitting it is that Brentano’s devoted work has at last been so magnificently brought into print by the editors at Angelico Press. These volumes, so beautifully bound, so carefully annotated, so majestically illustrated with Tissot’s original paintings and drawings (and so well-mapped!), will help tune the hearts of our skeptical age toward the mysterious, which is to say the Divine.”
“To call Angelico’s new, definitive edition of Anne Catherine Emmerich’s visions of the life of Jesus a stunning, moving, and beautiful epic is almost an exercise in understatement.”
“An extraordinary, captivating look at how a major mystic ‘saw’ the life of Jesus, with monumental artwork that brings us to Palestine two thousand years ago, unfolding for our inspiration and discernment the greatest event in the history of humankind since Creation.”
— MICHAEL H. BROWN, Spirit Daily
“Angelico Press has established a landmark in publishing this definitive, revised, and supplemented new edition of the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich.”
— CHRISTOPHER A. FERRARA, author of The Secret Still Hidden
“This magnificent and compelling treatise, centered upon the earthly life of Jesus as perceived mystically by the stigmatized Seeress of Dülmen, captivates and enlightens. Its publication at this critical moment in church history could well be providential.”
— WOLFGANG SMITH, author of Christian Gnosis
