They had been trying to have a quiet conversation with Sherwood Post at Uncle Mike’s, and Marsilia’s intrusion is most assuredly not welcome. When Vampire Queen Marsilia appears in the fireplace, dressed like a goth witch and with smoke swirling around her like some monster in a B movie, Adam and Mercy aren’t pleased. My review will not just contain oodles of spoilers for the previous books but may well sound like gibberish to those unfamiliar with this fictional universe. There’s some really intensive world-building here, and the stories should only be read in order. Go forth and exult in your Glory! Hide yourself in It and rejoice, and you will obtain the supplications of your heart.Soul Taken is the thirteenth book in the Mercy Thompsonseries and the nineteenth book in the Mercyverse. What do you ask, then, and seek, my soul? Yours is all of this, and all is for you.ĭo not engage yourself in something less, nor pay heed to the crumbs which fall from your Father’s table. The angels are mine, and the Mother of God, and all things are mine Īnd God Himself is mine and for me, because Christ is mine and all for me. Mine are the nations, the just are mine, and mine the sinners. Mine are the heavens and mine is the earth.
With what procrastinations do You wait, since from this very moment you can love God in your heart? Hence I rejoice that if I wait for You, You will not delay.
You will not take from me, my God, what You once gave me in Your only Son, Jesus Christ in Whom You gave me all I desire. How will a man begotten and nurtured in lowliness rise up to You, Lord, if You do not raise him with Your hand which made him? Who can free himself from the lowly manners and limitations if You do not lift him to Yourself, my God, in purity of love? “ Lord God, my Beloved, if You remember still my sins in such a way that You do not do what I beg of You, do Your will concerning them, my God, which is what I most desire, and exercise Your goodness and mercy, and You will be known through them.Īnd if it is that You are waiting for my good works so as to hear my prayer through their means, grant them to me, and work them for me, and the sufferings You desire to accept, and let it be done.īut if You are not waiting for my works, what is it that makes You wait, my most clement Lord? Why do You delay?įor if, after all, I am to receive the grace and mercy which I entreat of You in Your Son, take my mite, since You desire it, and grant me this blessing, since You also desire that.
