Thanks Chris! It was fascinating to read your post on Julian and Jen’s love of this ‘first English language woman author.’
I have also taken a deep dive into Julian studies in the past few months. It’s interesting that one of the first uses of this famous quote leaves off the first line often.
In the old English it is something like this? “Sinne is behovely, but alle
shalle be wele….” Sin refers to all the spiritual and physical pain and suffering of God’s created things. Behovely means fitting or inevitable.
Our hopefulness is in the redemption through Christ and through the “restoration of all things” that will ultimately come.
Julian has much to teach us about the implications of “God is love” that came from what God ‘showed’ her — and her decades long meditation on that love that has been preserved for us.
It's all I could think of while reading your post, which was really wonderful by the way. I was not familiar with Julian of Norwich before reading this, so I really enjoyed learning about her through your post. My church is non-denominational, and we don't do a ton of liturgical or traditional practices, though I wish we did because there's a lot of rich history in them.

Indeed…. For such a time as this!
Mmmmm, that's good. "Sin is inevitable BUT" is an important but

Ah yes, I had forgotten about that song, thanks for the reminder!
