Autorenporträt
Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de la Motte-Guyon, known as Madame Guyon, was a French Christian mystic and writer who was accused of advocating Quietism, considered heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. She was born on April 13, 1648, and endured a difficult childhood marked by sickness and personal losses. After an unhappy marriage and the death of her husband, she became drawn to mysticism and pursued a spiritual path. Madame Guyon's beliefs emphasized the importance of prayer and union with God. She believed in the primacy of God's grace over human works for salvation, a view that brought her into conflict with religious authorities of the time. She was imprisoned multiple times and faced opposition for her ideas. Despite her trials, Madame Guyon continued to inspire followers and gained the support of influential figures like François Fénelon. She spent her later years in retreat and wrote extensively, leaving behind a significant body of work. Madame Guyon's writings, including "A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer," continue to be studied and appreciated for their profound insights into spirituality and the pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. Her ideas on prayer, divine grace, and interior transformation remain influential in Christian contemplative traditions.
