Spiritual Works & Journeys: The Nuptial House, Vineyard, Sufferings for Others, the Church, and the Neighbor (New Light on the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich)

Spiritual Works & Journeys is the eleventh volume of the long-awaited “New Light on the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich” series. In parts one and two the visionary speaks of “action in vision” in the “nuptial house” and “vineyard” whereby she labors for souls. Parts three and four continue this theme in a wider framework, such as the “two churches,” “planetary influences,” St. Michael and spiritual warfare, and the Church Militant. Part five recounts fascinating spiritual journeys on behalf of the well-being of the souls of others.
This series supplements an earlier Angelico publication: The Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Books I–III. In 2009 the original notes of Anne Catherine’s visions (in 38 notebooks) became for the first time available for reference, and the present series incorporates much new material translated therefrom. With regard to both individuals and themes, every reference thus far located in the notes and in prior translations have been woven together, so the reader can find in one place almost all of what Anne Catherine had to say on each topic.
As regards the series as a whole, virtually every individual in the biblical visions (approximately 250 in total) is referenced in the five People of the New Testament volumes. The Life of the Virgin Mary is dedicated to Mary (and her Essene ancestry), and Scenes from the Lives of the Saints treats of fifty-nine saints. The present volume forms a set with Mysteries of the Old Testament and two further volumes cover a multitude of separate themes: Inner Life and Worlds of Soul & Spirit and Spiritual Works and Journeys. The final volume is The Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich.
