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 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 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)
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 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)
When we die we shall come to God knowing ourselves clearly having gone wholly. We shall be enfolded in God for ever, seeing him truly, feeling him fully, hearing him spiritually, smelling him delectably, and tasting him sweetly.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
