These excerpts for meditation/contemplation have been taken from Madame Guyon's text, 'A Short and Easy Method of Prayer'. Published by the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.

Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon (Commonly known as Madame Guyon - 13 April 1648 โ€“ 9 June 1717) is Christianityโ€™s best-known and most influential woman in church history. She was a celebrated French Mystic, and one of the greatest Christian leaders of all time.

She was accused of advocating Quietism, which was considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. Madame Guyon was imprisoned from 1695 to 1703 after publishing the book A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer. The foundation of her Quietism was laid in her study of St. Francis de Sales, Madame de Chantal, and Thomas a Kempis. At age 16, she married Jacques Guyon, a wealthy man of weak health, 22 years her senior. Her public career as an evangelist of Quietism began soon after her widowhood.

    That was beautiful. Such a blessing. Thank you.
  • @seanmclaren8829
    She was persecuted by The Church for this form of prayer. They would lose fewer people if their mystics were not obscured. Growing up Catholic I knew nothing about this contemplative, heart-centered devotion..
