Mechthild of Magdeburg

"I cannot dance, Lord, unless you lead me."

Mechthild of Magdeburg (1212-1282). She had profound communion with God from an early age. At age twenty she took her religious vows as a Beguine.

She later wrote an account of her revelations in a book called The Flowing Light of the Godhead, which she attributes as coming solely from God.
