The literature is replete with a wealth of material that has the ability to inspire and encourage from a range of writers which include such as Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Symeon, Francis of Assisi, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross and more recently Rudolf Steiner, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Henri Nouwen to name but a few.
