!!!Mystik

Mysticism: Persons who are capable of mystic experiences such as 
vision, audition und stigmatisation have appeared in Austria since the 
time of St. Severinus. Austrian mystics who had a beneficial and 
stimulating effect in times of religious turmoil and revival included 
St.  Gebhard, Petrus  Canisius,  Marco d´Aviano, 
St. Clemens M.  Hofbauer and Hildegard  Burjan. Several rulers - 
including Emperor Leopold I - were also mystics. Important 
literary records of mystical experiences have been handed down by the  
Carthusians at Mauerbach and Gaming, and the first professors of the 
Faculty of Catholic Theology of the Universities of Vienna and (more 
recently) Innsbruck (J. Sudbrack).
