A fascinating historical and philosophical study of the prayer of Caritas in the broad context of Christianity from 2000 years ago to the present day…
“Who was this creature who had lived in ancient Rome? The venerable matron Flavia Domitilla? Or the sweet and devout Priscilla? – the ones who had lent their names to two of the catacombs where Christians gathered in secret. Was she the bright spirit of Justina of Padua? Or the devout spirit of Agnes of Rome, a young woman who had suffered the double martyrdom of having her purity violated in public spectacle, and being tortured with fire, before receiving the coup de grâce by sword?”
“On Christmas night of 1873 (when the Spiritist Movement was still newly born and in process of codification), a French lady of German descent by the name of W. Krell, while channeling in trance, wrote down the beautiful and profound prayer signed by the Spirit Carita.”
