DESCRIPTION:Dates: Sunday\, July 6 through August 3 (five weeks)\nStart tim
 e: 9:15 am\nLocation: Annex\nOver the course of this five-week study we wi
 ll discuss specific passages from Julian of Norwich Revelations of Divine 
 Love. Julian (1342-C 1416)\, at the age of thirty\, during a near fatal il
 lness\, received sixteen “showings” (visions). For more than fifteen y
 ears she reflected on those “showings.” She wrote down her insights in
  Revelations of Divine Love\, one of the earliest texts in the English lan
 guage by a woman.\nJulian lived in turbulent times. She survived five cycl
 es of the plague that ravaged the populations of England. She lived throug
 h war\, social unrest\, and a major crisis over Church Authority (antipope
 s). Against the background of such turmoil\, Julian’s message to those w
 ho sought her counsel\, wisdom\, and spiritual direction was one of encour
 agement\, hope\, and faith in God’s unconditional and steadfast love: 
 “All will be well\, and all will be well\, and all manner of all thing w
 ill be well.”\nIn Julian’s spiritual work\, Revelations of Divine Love
 \, we encounter Julian the spiritual teacher\, comforter\, and practical g
 uide. As a theologian Julian wrestles with\, among others\, the concepts o
 f sin\, salvation\, the trinity\, the Mothering attributes of God\, divine
  grace\, compassion\, and Divine Love.\nAt the center of her reflections o
 n her sixteen “showings” is God’s relationship with and infinite lov
 e for his Creation and compassion for the suffering of humanity. Julian te
 lls her reader “What? You wish to know the Lord’s meaning in this thin
 g? Know it well\, love was his meaning.”\nThomas Merton\, had this to sa
 y about Julian of Norwich:\n“Julian is without doubt one of the most won
 derful of all Christian voices and she gets greater and greater in my eyes
  as I grow older…I think that Julian of Norwich is with Newman\, the gre
 atest English Theologian.”
