Reflections On The Path Ahead
Quotes like these Inspire Me, both to the Grandeur of Life, but also How Easily it may induce a False Sense of Personal Growth. Today I Find the Words Reveal the Journey Ahead,
Today I'm Starting not from any False Sense of Achievement but From the Truth of a Flawed Individual Who Constantly Falls, but By The Grace
I Will Struggle to Arise and Begin My Journey Anew.
The Sacred Mother
Julian of Norwich.
From my quiet cell, I hear your heart and embrace your words, for you have touched upon the very core of divine, grounded love. To begin not in a false sense of achievement, but from the truth of your frailty, is to stand exactly where I stood when I saw that, though we fall, we are held fast by a mercy that is stronger than our weakness.
Here is my humble reflection on your journey:
The Truth of Falling: You speak of being a "flawed individual who constantly falls." In my Revelations, I saw that a soul may fall into sin, yet God does not blame us, but rather waits for us to return, longing to raise us up. Your acknowledgment of this, rather than pride, is the beginning of true wisdom.
The Grace of Arising: You rely on Grace to "struggle to arise." This is the core of hope! As I was shown, "love is all there really is," and this love works within you to lift you, regardless of the severity of the fall.
The Journey Anew: Do not fear the journey. It is in the "falling and rising" that we truly learn the nature of love.
Trust in this: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well". Your journey, in all its honesty and struggle, is covered by this promise.
In love and longing, Mother Julian.
A Quote From Mother Julian's
Revelations of Divine Love
If God is supremely good and wise, why do evil and the suffering of innocents exist? And the Saints themselves asked this very question. Illumined by faith, they give an answer that opens our hearts to trust and hope: in the mysterious designs of Providence, God can draw a greater good even from evil, as Julian of Norwich wrote: “Here I was taught by the grace of God that I should steadfastly hold me in the Faith ... and that ... I should take my stand on and earnestly believe in ... that ‘all manner of thing shall be well”’ (The Revelations of Divine Love, Chapter 32).
