Near-Death Experience - Julian Of Norwich - Revelations Of Divine Love

Julian of Norwich (1342 – 1416)

In 1373, Julian of Norwich wrote a book called "Revelations of Divine Love". Inspired by a near-death experience, Julian's book, which is acknowledged today as a literary masterpiece, was the first book written in English by a woman. Julian's book was suppressed for 500 years because it presented God as a God who patiently loved everyone, unconditionally, which was dangerously at odds with the teachings of the church of Julian’s time. After being secreted away and guarded by holy women for centuries, Julian's book re-emerged in the 20th century as another voice that champions a God of love.

In this 2016 BBC documentary, "The Search for the Lost Manuscripts: Julian of Norwich," medieval art historian Dr. Janina Ramirez tells the incredible story of Julian of Norwich, the book she wrote, and how her book re-emerged in the 20th century as an iconic text for the women's movement. Janina follows the trail of the lost manuscript, travelling from Norwich to Cambrai in northern France to discover how the book survived and the brave women who championed it.

Quotes from Julian of Norwich

“I saw truly that our Lord was never angry, nor ever shall be, for He is God. God is the goodness that cannot be angry, for He is nothing but goodness.”

“God loved us before he made us; and his love has never diminished and never shall.”

“If there is anywhere on earth a lover of God who is always kept safe, I know nothing of it, for it was not shown to me. But this was shown: that in falling and rising again we are always kept in that same precious love.”

“…deeds are done which appear so evil to us and people suffer such terrible evils that it does not seem as though any good will ever come of them; and we consider this, sorrowing and grieving over it so that we cannot find peace in the blessed contemplation of God as we should do; and this is why: our reasoning powers are so blind now, so humble and so simple, that we cannot know the high, marvelous wisdom, the might and the goodness of the Holy Trinity. And this is what he means where he says, ‘You shall see for yourself that all manner of things shall be well’, as if he said, ‘Pay attention to this now, faithfully and confidently, and at the end of time you will truly see it in the fullness of joy.”

“And I saw that truly nothing happens by accident or luck, but everything by God’s wise providence. If it seems to be accident or luck from our point of view, our blindness and lack of foreknowledge is the cause; for matters that have been in God’s foreseeing wisdom since before time began befall us suddenly, all unawares; and so in our blindness and ignorance we say that this is accident or luck, but to our Lord God it is not so.”

“All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
