“By mercy and grace we are raised to manifold more joys. Thus in righteousness and in mercy, God wills us to know and love him, now and without end.”
~Julian of Norwich
Reflection:
Where in my life do I most need to receive God’s mercy and grace so I can more fully love Him?
Scripture:
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us… made us alive together with Christ.” — Ephesians 2:4–5
“God permits us to fall, and in his blessed love, his might, and his wisdom, we are kept.”
~Julian of Norwich
How does recognizing God’s sustaining presence in our falls transform our understanding of adversity and divine grace?
“Our Lord God is the ground of our beseeching. In God we see two properties: one is authentic prayer, and the other is secure trust. God wills us to be generous in both alike.”
~Julian of Norwich
