Editorial Reviews

Review

Jessica Powers is an artist, painting in words the movements of the heart, the aspirations of the soul, the homelessness of a pilgrim people, the joys and sufferings of the mystic, the song and dance of those in love, the beauties of creation. --Bishop Robert Morneau, from the Introduction

5.0 out of 5 stars Echoes of mystics from the past, September 19, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Selected Poetry of Jessica Powers (Paperback)
Reminds me a little of Emily Dickinson, a little of her contemporary, Thérèse de Lisieux. I was surprised to see that Jessica Powers was an elderly nun-so uninhibited in expressing how in love she was with God!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reads My Soul, May 1, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Selected Poetry of Jessica Powers (Paperback)
This book has poetry that describes the experiences we all have felt at some time in our Spiritual lives. As I read some of the poems it expressed what I had felt or was feeling so accurately I felt I was reading my own soul. Her poems lend themselves to be used for prayer & meditation with ease and they truly uplift the soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars soul stirring, January 30, 2009
By 
digitalari (st. louis, mo USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Selected Poetry of Jessica Powers (Paperback)
The poetry contained in this book is so beautiful and its thoughts and wanderings fill your heart with joy (even the ones about spiritual dryness!). I use this book in meditation and sometimes I can not even finish one poem because my heart is leaping within! Thank the Lord for the gifts He has given us through the words of such a wonderful poet and mystical soul!
