Revelations of Divine Love by Mother Julian of Norwich [Hodder & Stoughton, 2010] (Paperback) [Paperback] Quotes

“As we seek God it is his will that we do three things: first, that by his grace we apply ourselves seriously to the task of seeking him and not in a lethargic way, not weighed down by unnecessary heaviness and useless depression. Second, that to the end of our lives we resolutely wait for him, out of love for him, without grumbling or pulling against him, for this life is so short anyway. Third, that we trust him utterly out of complete faith in him. For he wants us to know that he will appear unexpectedly, bringing perfect happiness to all who love him.”

“When judgment is announced and we are all taken up above, we shall clearly see in God, the secret things which are now hidden from us. Then none of us will have the slightest urge to say, 'Lord, if it had been like this, then it would have been fine.' Instead, we shall all say, with one voice; 'We praise you, Lord, because it is like this: all is well. Now we can really see that everything has been done just as you planned it before anything was made.”

“This is why we are restless in heart and soul: we seek our rest in things that are so trivial, in which there is no rest, instead of seeking to know God who is all-powerful, totally wise and good. God alone is true rest.”
