FD of Julian of Norwich (d 1416), English mystic who spent much of her life as an anchoress, enclosed in a cell attached to her local parish. From her "room without a view" she composed her "Revelations," a striking window into the mystery of God's love.
Conversation
Her reflections were based on a series of visions she experienced while gazing on the crucifix in the midst of terrible illness. She saw that Christ's sufferings revealed the depth of Love for humanity and the impotence of evil. Though creation was no more than a hazlenut ...
...in the hand of God, its value was measure by the price God was prepared to pay for it in blood. And in the end Christ's suffering became our joy with the realization that we are all "soul and body, clad and enclosed in the goodness of God."
