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.

“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.”

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.

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.

Huge thanks to Hetta Howes for her enlightening Julian Lecture 2025. Please read the screenshot message from the parish (also in its Alt-text for screenreaders) sharing their joy in welcoming everyone today.

#JulianOfNorwich #JulianLecture #FriendsOfJulian #RevelationsOfDivineLove
St Julian's Church full to the brim with people listening to Hetta Howes deliver the Julian Lecture 2025. Screenshot of message from the parish on facebook saying: We were thrilled to welcome 110 people to St Julian's, Norwich this afternoon for the annual Julian Lecture: every spare seat was taken, Fr Bruce sat on an upturned flower bucket, and people were sitting in the cell and standing in the porch! Despite some of the discomfort, we hope everyone was able to benefit from the lecture. Dr Hetta Howes of City St George’s, University of London gave a splendid presentation exploring the lives of medieval women and society's expectations of them, and looking particularly at how Julian of Norwich, in her seclusion in the anchorhold in this place, was able to exercise a radical freedom while also seeking her ultimate fulfilment in knowing and loving God, without whom she knew she would always be in want.

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

Time to re-read Julian of Norwich, A Very Brief History by the fabulous @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social. Julian wasn't a typical 14th century woman, which is one of the fascinations. Her quote "All shall be well. All shall be well. And all manner of thing shall be well." is one I find calming.

Image shows a copy of the book Julian of Norwich, A Very Brief History by Janina Ramirez. The book has a white cover, the a large 'J' is cut out and a part of a painting of Julian shows through, a striking blue eye being prominant. The book is laying on a a red, deep pink, and gold cloth.

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).

Today we remember Julian of Norwich, Mystic and Theologian, c. 1417.

Triune God, Father and Mother to us all, who showed your servant Julian revelations of your nurturing and sustaining love: Move our hearts, like hers, to seek you above all things, for in giving us yourself you give us all. Amen.

Today is the feast of Julian of Norwich in the Anglican churches.* Interestingly, the date commemorates not her death, but the date she began to have her revelations. The oldest MS of the "Short Text" is BL Add 37790, 1st 1/2 of the 15th c., which is, praise be, back online. 🕯️🧵 #medievalsky
British Library Add 37790, fol. 97r: the opening of the "Short Version" of Julian's Revelations of Divine Love. Gothic cursive manuscript page in one column with red and blue initials.
