JULIAN OF NORWICH, MYSTIC

JULIAN OF NORWICH, MYSTIC - 13 MAY

MOTHER JULIAN OF NORWICH, MYSTIC

We know very little for certain about Mother Julian of Norwich beyond what she herself tells us in her well-known book, “Revelations of Divine Love”, from which this meditation was taken. She became a nun – very probably a Benedictine – in her late teens in about 1360. Some thirteen years later she fell seriously ill.

HER GAZE BECAME RIVETED ON A CRUCIFIX

As she lay dying, her gaze became riveted on a crucifix which stood at the end of her bed. It was then that she experienced several hours of extraordinary lucidity and received “shewings”, followed by a very vivid temptation of the Devil.

She immediately recovered from her sickness. An hour or two later she received the final vision described in the “Revelations”: the indwelling of the Trinity in every human spirit at one with Christ.

THE INDWELLING OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY IN EVERY HUMAN SPIRIT AT ONE WITH CHRIST

This is a piece by Mother Julian - Meditation on our Lord Jesus Christ:

I am he that is highest

I am he whom you love

I am he whom you like

I am he whom you serve

I am he for whom you have longed

I am he whom you desire

I am all that you can mean

I am all that is all

I am he that Holy Church teaches and preaches

I am he that has shown himself here to you.

Mother Julian of Norwich, XII Revelation, Chapter 26

ST VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA - 7 JANUARY

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JANUARY Saints celebrated on the 7th of January WELCOME! SAINT VALENTINE, BISHOP OF RHAETIA Saint Valentine (Valentinus) is the patron saint of the diocese of Passau. The Proprium of Passau relates his life story as follows: Saint Valentine came from the seashore and arrived at Batava, today's Passau. Here he wanted to proclaim the gospel to the inhabitants, who were ignorant of the true worship of God, and therefore went to Rome to obtain the necessary authority from the Pope for this undertaking. Upon his return, he invested much time and effort to gain those lost souls for Christ, as the Pope expected him to. Valentine himself thirsted for their salvation, incessantly preaching the Divine word to them. After some considerable time, however, Valentine realised that all the seed he had sown fell on rocky ground. Thus he travelled again to Rome with the request to be sent to another place that had fertile soil. The Pope received him graciously, consecra...

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...
