What is Be Loved, Beloved – 15 Spiritual Love Poems about?
This collection of spiritual love poems takes us with Katherine T Owen on the journey she has made to know God’s love and move towards self love. This journey was triggered by the testing circumstances of fourteen years living with the illness CFS / ME combined with inadequate care.
With little speech or movement, fighting to survive, she explored spirituality to find peace.
She would not trade those difficult years for the knowledge gained of God’s love.
In the tradition of the mystics, Katherine T Owen writes about direct spiritual experience.
The poems take us with her through both her resistance and surrender to the love that brings true healing.
Katherine T Owen is a Christian Mystic and a student of A Course In Miracles. She recognises many paths to God. She says: “Go deep enough into God and we are One.”
Each of the spiritual love poems in Be Loved, Beloved is accompanied by both a spiritual quote about love (Bible verse or A Course In Miracles quote) and
a release
about love.
Extracts from Be Loved, Beloved, 15 Spiritual Love Poems - God Love, Self Love
Speaker At Global Love Day 2011
I was honoured to be asked to be the key speaker at Global Love Day in 2011 with the Swansea group in South Wales, UK.
In celebration of the day, I put together this collection of poems on the journey I have made so far to be loved both by God and by myself. It has been a journey I would never have gone on were it not for a time of severe illness.
To know myself as the beloved, loved by The Beloved is the gift I received....
We can feel disheartened, as though we are not getting anywhere, but we are uncovering the layers one by one and moving to the heart of God.
It is a journey well worth making, both for ourselves and for the love it allows to flow through us into the world.
A Journey Towards Love
“God is love. On some level I knew this. If I felt unloved, the fault did not lie with a God who did not know how to love me. It must be my own beliefs that were simply blocking out my awareness of that love.
I set out to identify and replace these beliefs with ones to open my heart to God...
Here you will find love poems to God, love poems from God, love poems to and from myself.
I pray that this book serves to open you a little more to the Love that waits for us whenever we are willing to receive it.”
One of the spiritual love poems in Be Loved, Beloved
Ears to Hear
“I love you,” He says,
calling me by my name.
I hear Him,
feel a deep, hidden sorrow
rise to the surface.I realise He has said this all along.
I haven’t listened,
won’t listen again;
too busy looking to others
to say it,
to mean it,
when He is always here
loving me;
wanting so much for me to
recognise His love.“I love you,” He says.
I hear Him again–
a little louder,
a little more real.
And again the remorse,
threatening to match the love in its intensity,
make me block it out as
a punishment for my ingratitude.
All He asks is that
I take this love,
receive it.Will I do that for Him?
Will I receive His love?
It's OK to find it hard to receive someone's love.
“For still deeper than the ego's foundation, and much stronger than it will ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, and His for you. This is what you really want to hide.”
(T-13.III.2, A Course In Miracles)

Praise for Be Loved, Beloved – 15 Spiritual Love Poems - some initial response
“From [Katherine’s] sparse words emerges the picture of a woman who had the wall between God and herself removed, one revelation at a time. One poem at a time. One thing that struck me was the stripping of ego in the work. Most of us have a comfy ego façade, but weakness and disease tore Katherine’s away. Her poems come from the heart.It’s a short piece, easily read in half an hour, but the beauty of poetry is its ability to be fresh with each reading, like listening to a favorite song over and over. Be Loved, Beloved is a precious little tome to be revisited time and again.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading your little book of 15 spiritual Love Poems - many struck a chord I must say. My favourite is the one you read to us during the Global Love Day event in Swansea - "Love Progressing". I personally feel like this poem is a conversation between myself and my soul or higher self. I have always had a problem with loving myself and have been doing quite a bit of work to address this for years now. As the poem progressed I realised that I have, in fact, made some headway in my own struggle for self acceptance and love. The second poem I loved was "Ears to Hear". This touches me on a more personal level, i.e. accepting the love of a partner. I find it easier to give out love than to accept it. Those few verses said it all.” Susan C from Swansea |
| “Beautiful and poignant.
"Ears to Hear" had a strong impact. I cried a lot reading it. I think I was crying from the part of me that feels unworthy of God's love. Like it's almost fantastical that His love could be so huge it could encompass all my faults.”

| "This little modest pocket-book is packed with tiny, illuminating gems!"
Barbara-Pearl Robson, Inspirational Speaker, Bankside, London, England |
| “Through her traumatic journey and her enlightened response to adversity, a divine spirit has developed Katherine's charismatic personality into a consummate teacher, a caring spiritual guide, with an ecstatic message of hope, freedom and love.
Her book 'Be Loved Beloved' shows how God loves us....and that is all the love we need.” Shaun Butler, visitor and contributor to www.a-spiritual-journey-of-healing.com |
| “15 poems – all so delightful and complete in themselves...
Love of others must begin, as your poems indicate, with proper love of self.”
Malcolm Dragon, spiritual group leader, Swansea, South Wales, UK |
