strona 13

Juliana z Norwich – angielska pustelnica, jedna z najważniejszych przedstawicielek mistycyzmu chrześcijańskiego, nazwana przez Thomasa Mertona największą angielską mistyczką i teologiem, święta Kościoła anglikańskiego i starokatolickiego.

Przypuszczalnie mieszkała w rekluzji przy kościele pw. św. Juliana w Norwich. Kiedy w 1373 roku ciężko zachorowała, była przekonana o zbliżającej się śmierci, a nawet otrzymała ostatnie namaszczenie, doznała serii szesnastu objawień. Wizje skończyły się, gdy Julianna wyzdrowiała.

Julianna sporządziła listę swoich wizji wraz z krótkim komentarzem . Około 20 lat później stworzyła dzieło będące rozwinięciem pierwszego tekstu . Były to Objawienia Bożego miłosierdzia , według współczesnych badań pierwsza anglojęzyczna książka napisana przez kobietę.

Ze względu na treść trzynastej wizji, która rozmija się z nauką Kościoła katolickiego, a mówi o grzechu i złu, w katolicyzmie nigdy oficjalnie nie zaaprobowano jej kultu. Juliana odrzucała dogmat o wiecznym potępieniu. Mistyczka uważała, że jest on sprzeczny z ideą miłosierdzia Bożego. Lokalnie wspominana jest 13 maja. Obecnie wspominana jest w Kościele anglikańskim oraz Reformowanym Kościele Katolickim w Polsce 8 maja. Wikipedia

“Oftentimes when our falling and our wretchedness is shewed us, we are so sore adread, and so greatly ashamed of our self, that scarcely we find where we may hold us. But then willeth not our courteous Mother that we flee away, for Him were nothing lother.”

Summations, Chapter 58

“Highly ought we to rejoice that God dwelleth in our soul, and much more highly ought we to rejoice that our soul dwelleth in God. Our soul is made to be God’s dwelling-place; and the dwelling-place of the soul is God, Which is unmade.”

And high understanding it is, inwardly to see and know that God, which is our Maker, dwelleth in our soul; and an higher understanding it is, inwardly to see and to know that our soul, that is made, dwelleth in God’s Substance: of which Substance, God, we are that we are.
And I saw no difference between God and our Substance: but as it were all God; and yet mine understanding took that our Substance is in God: that is to say, that God is God, and our Substance is a creature in God.
Summations, Chapter 54

“In this life mercy and forgiveness is our way and evermore leadeth us to grace. And by the tempest and the sorrow that we fall into on our part, we be often dead as to man’s doom in earth; but in the sight of God the soul that shall be saved was never dead, nor ever shall be.”

Summations, Chapter 50

“Thus in these same five words aforesaid: I may make all things well, etc., I understand a mighty comfort of all the works of our Lord God that are yet to come. There is a Deed the which the blessed Trinity shall do in the last Day, as to my sight, and when the Deed shall be, and how it shall be done, is unknown of all creatures that are beneath Christ, and shall be till when it is done.”

The Thirteenth Revelation, Chapter 32

“One time our good Lord said: All thing shall be well; and another time he said: Thou shalt see thyself that all MANNER of thing shall be well; and in these two the soul took sundry understandings. One was that He willeth we know that not only He taketh heed to noble things and to great, but also to little and to small, to low and to simple, to one and to other. And so meaneth He in that He saith: ALL MANNER OF THINGS shall be well. For He willeth we know that the least thing shall not be forgotten.”

I have said in the beginning: And in this all my pain was suddenly taken from me: of which pain I had no grief nor distress as long as the Fifteen Shewings lasted following. And at the end all was close, and I saw no more. And soon I felt that I should live and languish; and anon my sickness came again: first in my head with a sound and a din, and suddenly all my body was fulfilled with sickness like as it was afore. And I was as barren and as dry as I never had comfort but little. And as a wretched creature I moaned and cried for feeling of my bodily pains and for failing of comfort, spiritual and bodily.
The Fifteenth Revelation, Chapter 66

“Thus we stand in this medley all the days of our life. But He willeth that we trust that He is lastingly with us. And that in three manner.”

He is with us in Heaven, very Man, in His own Person, us updrawing; and that was shewed in the Spiritual Thirst. And He is with us in earth, us leading; and that was shewed in the Third, where I saw God in a Point. And He is with us in our soul, endlessly dwelling, us ruling and keeping; and that was shewed in the Sixteenth, as I shall tell.
Summations, Chapter 52

“He willeth that we love Him sweetly and trust in Him meekly and mightily. And this shewed He in these gracious words: I keep thee full surely.”

with contrition and compassion. And that shewed our Lord in this time, and gave me strength and grace to see it.
The Eighth Revelation, Chapter 21

“By three things man standeth in this life; by which three God is worshipped, and we be speeded, kept and saved.
The first is, use of man’s Reason natural; the second is, common teaching of Holy Church; the third is, inward gracious working of the Holy Ghost. And these three be all of one God: God is the ground of our natural reason; and God, the teaching of Holy Church; and God is the Holy Ghost. And all be sundry gifts to which He willeth that we have great regard, and attend us thereto. For these work in us continually all together; and these be great things.”
