DOCTRINES OF ST. KATHERIN OF SEENES

HERE FOLLOWETH DIVERS DOCTRINES DEVOUT AND FRUITFUL, TAKEN OUT OF THE

LIFE OF THAT GLORIOUS VIRGIN AND SPOUSE OF OUR LORD, SAINT KATHERIN OF

SEENES. AND FIRST THOSE WHICH OUR LORD TAUGHT AND SHEWED TO HERSELF,

AND SITH THOSE WHICH SHE TAUGHT AND SHEWED UNTO OTHERS

     

THE first doctrine of our Lord is this:

"Knowest thou not, daughter, who thou art and who I am? If thou know

well these two words, thou art and shalt be blessed. Thou art she

that art nought; and I am He that am ought.[118]("Thou art she that

art not, and I am he that am"). If thou have the very knowledge of

these two things in thy soul, thy ghostly enemy shall never deceive

thee, but thou shalt eschew graciously all his malice;[119]("I escape

gracyously all his snares") and thou shalt never consent to any thing

that is against My commandments and precepts, but all grace, all

truth, and all charity thou shalt win without any hardness."

 

 

Regards,
