More quotes by Julian of Norwich
See that I am God. See that I am in everything. See that I do everything. See that I have never stopped ordering my works, nor ever shall, eternally. See that I lead everything on to the conclusion I ordained for it before time began, by the same power, wisdom and love with which I made it. How can anything be amiss?
Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich
He shall appear suddenly and blissfully to all that love Him.
Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich
Everything has being through the love of God.
Julian of Norwich

Be a Gardener. Dig a ditch. Toil and sweat. And turn the earth upside down. And seek the deepness. And water plants in time. Continue this labor. And make sweet floods to run, and noble and abundant fruits to spring. Take this food and drink, and carry it to God as your true worship.
Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich
For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it.
Julian of Norwich
Truth sees God, and wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes a third, a holy and wonderful delight in God, who is love.
Julian of Norwich
Between God and the soul there is no between.
Julian of Norwich
All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.
Julian of Norwich
The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love. And this was shewed in such manner that I could not have perceived of the part of mercy but as it were alone in love that is to say, as to my sight.
Julian of Norwich
Because of the Shewing I am not good but if I love God the better: and in as much as ye love God the better, it is more to you than to me.
Julian of Norwich
He [Jesus] did not say, 'You will never have a rough passage, you will never be over-strained, you will never feel uncomfortable,' but he did say, 'You will never be overcome.
Julian of Norwich
Charity keepeth us in Faith and Hope, and Hope leadeth us in Charity. And in the end all shall be Charity.
Julian of Norwich
As we know, our own mother bore us only into pain and dying. But our true mother, Jesus, who is all love, bears us into joy and endless living. Blessed may he be.
Julian of Norwich
It is easy to understand that the best deed is well done: and so well as the best deed is done - the highest - so well is the least deed done and all thing in its property and in the order that our Lord hath ordained it to from without beginning. For there is no doer but He.
