Some people see mystics are “world-deniers,” but this is a grave misconception. Many of the great mystics have written movingly about how God’s good creation, especially as seen in its natural beauty, reveals the soul’s oneness with the Creator. In a brief talk only a few of these mystics can be considered. Bernard will consider a handful from different ages (e.g, Augustine, Hildegard of Bingen, Francis of Assisi, John of the Cross, Teilhard de Chardin).
