Excerpt from Life Pictures From Swedish Church History The religious spirit of Ansgar was very early molded for his future vocation by certain dreams, occasioned partly through his peculiar bent of mind and partly by his environment.

Excerpt from Life Pictures From Swedish Church History The religious spirit of Ansgar was very early molded for his future vocation by certain dreams, occasioned partly through his peculiar bent of mind and partly by his environment. One night during his first years in the cloister he dreamed that he himself was in a dismal marsh, but nearby lay a pleasant plain, where he saw ap proaching him a company of holy women clad in white and among them his own mother. One of them, whom he took for the Virgin Mary, asked him: My son, would you like to come to your mother? When he had replied affirmatively to that question, the Virgin Mary said to him: If you wish to be one of our company, you must not indulge in vanities and childish pranks, for we will not tolerate vanity and idleness, and whosoever finds pleasure in such things cannot be in our com pany. So deep was the impression of this dream on Ansgar's mind that he withdrew from child ish folly, and at the age of twelve years became an ascetic of the order of St. Augustine. But in spite of his prayers, reading and singing, his ascetic zeal languished, and he found no peace for his troubled soul. This depression reached its depth in 814, when he was informed of the death of Charlemagne, whom he had seen shortly before in imperial power and glory.
