Saint Mechthild, Beguine of Magdeburg, Mystic

Draw near to the souls of thy people, O God, that like thy servant

 Mechthild we may yearn to know thee ever more, just as we are known intimately by thee, who knowest each one of us better than we can know ourselves. All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God now and for ever. Amen.
