Henry Suso, Bl
Henry Suso, Bl (c.1295–1366), German spiritual writer. He entered the Dominican house at Constance at the age of 13; five years later he adopted rigid standards. Studying at Cologne, he was influenced by Eckhart. In 1330 tension within the Order led to his being deprived of his teaching position, but he preached widely in Switzerland and the Upper Rhine area. His main work, ‘The Little Book of Eternal Wisdom’ or ‘Clock of Wisdom’, is a practical, warmly devotional, book of meditations. It was written in two versions, German and Latin. Feast day, 23 Jan. (formerly 2 Mar.; then 15 Feb.).
