He did not say: You will not be assailed, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted, but he did said: You will not be overcome.
Julian of NorwichThe greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.
Julian of NorwichI was wholly at peace, at ease and at rest, so that there was nothing upon earth which could have afflicted me. This lasted for a time, and then I was changed ... I felt there was no ease or comfort for me except faith, hope and love, and truly I felt very little of this. And then presently God gave me again comfort and rest for my soul ... And then again I felt the pain, and then afterwards the delight and joy, now the one and now the other, again and again, I suppose about twenty times.
