Whenever I visit Ranworth, St Helen, I always take a peek at the C15th Antiphoner, described on the church website as, 'a high quality medieval service book. It is most likely to have been written by professional scribes in Norwich around the year 1460.' #medieval #heritage #manuscript #history

John of the Cross called it the "dark night of the soul"—not God's absence but God's presence felt as absence. Julian of Norwich wrote "all shall be well" from isolation during plague. They knew: winter is formative, not failure. Rest Stop: open.substack.com/pub/apilgrim...

“Love is His meaning.” Julian of Norwich’s words still echo: in suffering and joy, God’s love is the thread that binds all. 💜 #Hope #ChristianWisdom

To know the goodness of God is the highest prayer of all. - Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich really surprised me: Like, I know that the middle age mystics are a little weird and sometimes that makes them inaccessible but this isn't that.

Julian of Norwich was a tremendous theologian. In today’s post at Sub-Creations, I examine her understanding of the Trinity.

The beauty of revisiting poetry is discovering new gems you did not have eyes for yet, for instance me finding the words of Julian of Norwich in T.S. Elliot's Four Quartets. And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well

The Anchorite Stuff - Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love provide a fascinating window into a life of devotion, as Julian recounts her vivid and often horrifying visions. FAVE BIT: the descriptions of her visions are truly something

In Ps.85:8b today: '...for he will speak peace to his people.' Julian of Norwich put it this way: 'God is our true resting place.' God is coaxing, calling, wooing us to peace. Resist the culture wars. Make the peace bigger than the chaos. Be still. Peace is my work today.

Happy New Year! No doubt Easter eggs will be on supermarket shelves tomorrow. The daffodils blooming in Bishop’s Garden think that Easter is already here. Climate change confusion?

It's the 1st of January, and today's the feast of Mary, Holy Mother of God. Here she is in a tender scene with her son in 14th Century French glass now in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow. 1/3

God loves and delights in us; so he wills that we should love and delight in him in return and trust him with all our strength. So all will be well. - Julian of Norwich

“Two duties belong to our souls. One is to reverently marvel. The other is humbly to endure, always taking pleasure in God. He wants us to remember that life is short and it won't be long until we clearly see, within him, all that we desire.” Julian of Norwich

My beloved friend and mentor David Townsend has started a newsletter to explore the world of Julian of Norwich, in conjunction with his forthcoming novel, The Ram in the Thicket. Please share! 🕯️ #medievalsky davidrtownsend.substack.com/p/imagining-...

Never beatified,anchoress Julian of Norwich (d.1416)wrote Revelations of Divine Love.She described "Jesus as mother"(as God is father)in his incarnation,suffering,refuge,compassion & love.She was visited by pilgrims,including Margery Kemp for "good counsel."For that alone,Julian deserved sainthood😅.

In his love God clothes us, enfolds us and embraces us; that tender love completely surrounds us, never to leave us. - Julian of Norwich

“All shall be well. For there is a force of love moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.” Julian of Norwich 🕊️

This reflection is timely as it comes to us on Mother's Day. "One person who celebrated the Divine Feminine and Sophia is the late Catholic monk Thomas Merton. Merton, like Julian of Norwich whom he praised prodigiously, developed the theme of the “Motherhood of God." For your reflection...

This fair lovely word ‘mother’ is so sweet and so kind in itself that it cannot truly be said of anyone except of him who is the true mother of life and of all things. The kind, loving mother who knows and recognizes the needs of her child protects it very tenderly. Julian of Norwich, b. 1342

Apparently today, 8th May, is the Feast of Julian of Norwich. It therefore seems appropriate to share my post from last year. #JulianOfNorwich

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' (Julian of Norwich). Praying for all who visit The Julian Shrine over her festival weekend! Find out more on julianofnorwich.org #julianofnorwich
