The Vision Of Angelino Of Foligno Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

Angelino of Foligno
writes about the lucid vision in which she perceived the truth: the twofold apprehension of an Absolute at once humble and omnipotent, personal and transcendent. She writes:
„The eyes of my soul were opened, and i beheld the plenitude of God, whereby I did comprehend the whole world, both here and beyond the sea, and the abyss and all things else; and therein did i behold naught save the divine power in a manner assuredly indescribable, so that through excess of marvelling the soul cried with a loud voice, saying: ‚the whole world is full of God‘! Wherefore did I now comprehend that the world is but a small thing, I saw, moreover, that the power of God was above all things, and the whole world was filled with it. Then he said unto me: I have shown something of My Power the which i did so well understand, that it enabled me better to understand all other things….. Then was I given so deep an insight into the humility of God towards man and all other things, that when my soul remembered His unspeakable power and comprehend His deep humility, it marvelled greatly and did esteem itself to be nothing at all' Visionum et Instructionum Liber, Chp. Xxii., (English Translation, P.172) .
