Cheerful givers do not…
Cheerful givers do not count the cost of what they give. Their hearts are set on pleasing and cheering the person to whom the gift is given.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342–1416)
The highest worship…
When a soul holds onto God in trust– whether and seeking him or contemplating him — this is the highest worship you can bring.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
It is God’s will…
It is not God’s will that you should linger over pain, but that we should pass over it quickly to find joy that lasts and never ends.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Our soul rests in God…
Our soul rests in God its true peace, our soul stands in God its true strength, and is deep-rooted in God for endless love.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
We are made whole…
In our father, God almighty, we have our being; in our merciful mother we are remade and restored. Our fragmented lives are knit together and made perfect… And by giving and yielding ourselves, through grace, to the Holy Spirit we are made whole.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Prayer unites the soul…
Prayer unites the soul to God. Although the soul is like God in nature, it is often different from Him in condition because of a person’s sin. Prayer then acts as a witness that the soul wills as God wills. It eases the conscience and prepares us for grace.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
