Julian of NorwichOur Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.
Julian of NorwichThe greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

Julian of NorwichBe 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 NorwichWhere I say that He abideth sorrowfully and moaning, it meaneth all the true feeling that we have in our self, in contrition and compassion, and all sorrowing and moaning that we are not oned with our Lord. And all such that is speedful, it is Christ in us. And though some of us feel it seldom, it passeth never from Christ till what time He hath brought us out of all our woe. For love suffereth never to be without pity.
