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)

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)
It is a valuable thing for us to experience the valleys as well as the peaks. God wants us to know that he is with us in both good times and bad. For our spiritual benefit we are sometimes left to ourselves. We may be allowed to suffer misery. Both happiness and sadness are expressions of the same divine love. Of all the pains that lead to salvation, the greatest is to see your love suffer.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
God speaks to us without ceasing by his good inspirations.
— Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry.
