The Book of Divine Consolation of the Blessed Angela of Foligno is a religious text written by Mary G. Steegmann in 1909. The book is a translation of the original work by Angela of Foligno, a 13th-century Italian mystic and Franciscan tertiary. The book contains Angela's spiritual journey, in which she experienced a series of visions and revelations from God. Her experiences led her to abandon her former way of life and devote herself to a life of prayer and contemplation. The book is divided into three parts: the first part describes Angela's conversion and her initial experiences with God, the second part describes her mystical experiences and visions, and the third part describes her final union with God. Throughout the book, Angela emphasizes the importance of humility, love, and devotion to God. She also discusses the role of suffering in the spiritual life and the need for detachment from worldly things.
