“These two desires aforesaid passed from my mind, but the third dwelled with me continually.”
Julian of Norwich book Revelations of Divine Love
Revelations of Divine Love (c. 1393), Chapter 2
Context: For the Third, by the grace of God and teaching of Holy Church I conceived a mighty desire to receive three wounds in my life: that is to say, the wound of very contrition, the wound of kind compassion, and the wound of steadfast longing toward God. And all this last petition I asked without any condition.
These two desires aforesaid passed from my mind, but the third dwelled with me continually.
“One word from you shall silence me forever.”
