  • Encountering Adrienne Von Speyr
    1 Encountering Adrienne Von Speyr As Adrienne von Speyr was driving home from her medical practice in Basel, Switzerland, one day in 1942, she suddenly saw a bright light in front of her car.1 Someone shouted from the sidewalk, “Is something burning in that car?” At that moment in the car, she heard a voice say to her, “Tu vivras au ciel et sur la [You will live in heaven and on earth].”2 For the rest of her life, von Speyr terre had a flood of mystical experiences from the open heaven. The heavenly world of the Trinity rushed into her earthly life. At the same time, she devoted herself to living in the professional world as a doctor and in the intimacy of her family life as a wife and mother. These words from heaven spoken to her summarize in a sentence her life and mission. As both a doctor and mystic, she truly lived in heaven and on earth. The twentieth-century pontiff John Paul II (1920–2005) saw in von Speyr this double life of being in heaven and on earth. Speaking at the scholarly conference in honor of her, John Paul II said that von Speyr was someone who rooted her social-professional vocation in her life in God.3 He thought she was an example of the teaching that “the only thing that God urgently wants from you is to go out of yourself and to let God be God in you.”4 John 1.
