About Angelus Silesius

Angelus Silesius (25 December 1624 – 9 July 1677), born Johann Scheffler, also known as the Prophet of the Ineffable, was a German mystic of the Catholic Church, as well as a poet, priest and physician. He adopted the name Angelus (Latin for "messenger") and the surname Silesius (from the Latin for "Silesian") upon converting to Catholicism in 1653. He took holy orders under the Franciscans and was ordained a priest in 1661. His poetry explores themes of mysticism, contemplative prayer, and panentheism within the Christian context.
