You won’t find Nancy of Madam’s Creek (referred to last week) listed with other Christian mystics. As Mike dove deeper into his spiritual life, he needed to talk about what he was reading. A discussion group at our church provided an outlet, and Deacon Nancy (now Sister Nancy, our priest) was the conduit.

The words of the mystics became as familiar to him as passages from Shakespeare, which he often quoted. He asked me to print many of Rohr’s daily meditations, for later study.

Nancy introduced him to Julian of Norwich. In the end, “all shall be well” came true.
