If there is anywhere on earth a lover of God who is always kept safe, I know nothing of it, for it was not shown to me. But this was shown: that in falling and rising again we are always kept in that same precious love.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Wonderful and splendid is the place where the Lord lives. And therefore it is his will that we turn quickly at his gracious touch, rejoicing more in the fullness of his love than sorrowing over our frequent failures.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
The awe-inspiring kindness and encouragement of the Holy Spirit, our ever-present Lord, strengthens us daily and prepares us to receive our divine reward for every hardship we’ve lived through, and these rewards will surely surpass anything we’ve ever dreamt or imagined.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Our good Lord, the Holy Spirit — endless life dwelling in our souls — always protects us and gives us peace. Through grace, God’s Spirit brings each soul to tranquility and makes it obedient and reconciles it to God. Our good Lord constantly leads us on this path of mercy while we’re in this unpredictable life.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Our life is all grounded and rooted in love, and without love we may not live.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
[God] did not say ‘You shall not be tempest-tossed, you shall not be work-weary, you shall not be discomforted’. But he did say, ‘You shall not be overcome.’ God wants us to heed these words so that we shall always be strong in trust, both is sorrow and in joy.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
