St. Julian of Norwich

...for I well know that in the sight of our Lord God there is no chance or accident; wherefore I had to grant that all things that are done are well done, for our Lord does them all. 1

If there be anywhere on Earth a lover of God who is always kept safe, I know nothing of it. But in falling and rising again, we are always kept in that same precious love. 2

For God says: Pray wholeheartedly. . . though you may feel nothing, though you may see nothing . . . for in dryness and in barrenness, in sickness and in weakness, then is your prayer most pleasing to Me. 3
