#JulianofNorwich: "I saw no kind of #vengeance in God. In God are endless friendship, space, life, & being...I saw #wrath & vengeance only on our part. God #forgives that in us."
How does this alter or detox your understanding of Divinity? What kind of healing medicine does it offer? https://bit.ly/453ossb

#JulianOfNorwich: " #Nature & #Grace are in harmony w/ each other. For Grace is God & Nature is God. Neither Nature nor Grace works w/o the other. They may never be separated... That Goodness that is Nature is God....God is the true Father & Mother of Nature." bit.ly/453ossb

If anyone is looking for a #spiritual #BookClub there’s a group forming over on #reditt to read #JulianofNorwich [Warning: I’m planning on reading so you’ll be seeing some of my thoughts & reflections posted here]

Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress in the Middle Ages. Her Revelations of Divine Love, based on 16 divine visions she received in 1373, is thought to be the first book written by a #woman in English that has survived (and is still actively being read and studied today). She is venerated as a saint in the #EpiscopalChurch & the larger #AnglicanCommunion (although she is not recognized as a saint by the #RomanCatholicChurch )

The translation I plan to read is: Love’s Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich translated by John-Julian with commentary by Frederick S. Roden https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780814653081

God showed frequently in all the revelations that man continually performs His will and His honor everlastingly, without any ceasing.' (And what this action is was shown in the first revelation, and that on a wonderful basis: for it was shown in the operation of the soul of Our Blessed Lady Saint Mary, by truth and wisdom.)
And I hope, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, I shall say what I understood of how this should be.
Truth perceives God, and Wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes the third, and that is a holy, wonderful delight in God, which is Love. Where Truth and Wisdom are, in truth, there is Love, truly proceeding from them both, and all are of God's creation.
For He is eternal supreme Truth, eternal supreme Wisdom, eternal supreme Love uncreated; and man's soul is a created thing in God, which has the same divine qualities except created.
And continually the soul does what it was made for: it perceives God, it contemplates God, and it loves God.
Because of this God rejoices in the creature and the creature in God, endlessly marveling. In this marveling the creature sees his God, his Lord, his Creator, so high, so great, and so good in reference to himself who is created, that scarcely does the creature seem anything at all by himself; but the clarity and the purity of truth and wisdom cause him to see and to recognize that he is created because of love, and in this love God endlessly keeps him.

This beautifully written short novel ends with an imagined account of the 1413 meeting between #MargeryKempe and #JulianOfNorwich. The book is about loneliness, loss, resilience, and the problem of being a passionate religious woman in a male-dominated medieval church twitchy about heresy.
