“O God, of your goodness, give me yourself, for you are enough for me… If I do ask anything less, I shall always be in want. Only in you I have all.” – Julian of Norwich (1343-1416), Anchoress ![]()

Julian lived in Norwich, England during the dark days of the Black Death in Europe. Falling ill at age 30, Julian experienced a series of visions so profound that she devoted the remainder of her life to contemplating them. Julian recorded these visions and meditations in a book titled Revelations of Divine Love and her writings are the earliest known works in English by a female author. Julian lived in a small cell on the side of the Norwich cathedral, keeping only a cat for company. She devoted her life to prayer and meditation and discipled those who sought her counsel and wisdom. ![]()

O God, your blessed Son became poor for our sake, and chose the Cross over the kingdoms of this world: Deliver us from an inordinate love of worldly things, that we, inspired by the devotion of your servant Julian of Norwich, may seek you with singleness of heart, behold your glory by faith, and attain to the riches of your everlasting kingdom, where we shall be united with our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.![]()
