- Abstract
The article offers information on the life and writings of Hadewijch of Antwerp. It states that Hadewijch writings about Eucharistic union and love catch readers with vivid descriptions of the paradox of Christ's presence. Hadewijch writes that Christ and the soul are mixed with one another and become inseparable. It notes that her melancholic spirituality reflects ethical sensitivity in its connection with Christ's suffering. She suggests that spirituality in Christian tradition should be a reservoir to keep the memory of pain and suffering that one always return to feel others' pain and suffering.
