Thank and think you for this May Medievalish. I loved the quote from Fr. Greg Boyle and the prayer from Mechthild. I really appreciate the thoughts you share in this monthly newsletter. I am wondering if you know who the two figures are in the image you shared. It looks like an illuminated manuscript. It's a lovely image.

I cannot find the original manuscript citation, but it's from the longstanding medieval allegory of Christ and the Soul as lovers... Christ is wooing the loving soul with gentle music.
