Best Mystical Poems



Treasures Old and New:

1.  St. Ephrem - Hymns of Paradise

2.  St. Symeon -  Divine Eros

3.  St. John the Cross -  Collected works

4.  Rumi - Essential works (Sufi)

5.  T. S. Eliot - Four Quartets

6.  Teilhard de Chardin  -  Hymn of the Universe

7.  Hans Von Balthassar -  Heart of the World 

8.  Contemporary Christian mystics today - There are progressive Christian mystics like Thomas Keating; Richard Rohr; and Theodore J. Nottingham who are alive and well and still writing.  A Catholic Jesuit from India who died in 1987 worth noting is Anthony de Mello.  Many Christian mystics, saints, prophets, poets, and missionaries remain anonymous but fill this earth with heaven's glory and joy.  Ultimately, they make this planet a better place to live in by their presence and positive influence.
