During the exorcism, a demon entered Surin's own soul, and the exorcist became demoniac. He spent the following eighteen years of his life mute and paralyzed. All the while his troubled mind conversed with God, and he composed hymns and poems that tried to comprehend his agony. Surin left detailed descriptions of the dramatic events that shaped his life and fascinated his fellow Jesuits. But Surin was also an author of spiritual texts, a spiritual director of souls, a poet, and a prolific correspondent. This volume is the first to offer English readers a comprehensive selection of Surin's mystical writings. 410 0$aJesuit Studies$v19. 606 $aMysticism$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMysticism$xHistory 676 $a248.2/2 700 $aSurin$b Jean-Joseph$f1600-1665,$0167058 702 $aSluhovsky$b Moshe$f1958- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511361903321 996 $aInto the dark night and back$92552864 997 $aUNINA
