Epiphany Forum- Julian of Norwich Speaks to Us Today
In the bustling port city of Norwich, England, a gifted young woman began to receive visions (or “showings”) during what seemed to be a Near-death experience when she was 30. Julian of Norwich, (1342-1423) began to write them down in English. Then Julian moved into an anchorhold (a monastic cell next to the church), where she meditated on her visions and offered spiritual care through a slit in her cell. Waves of the Bubonic plague decimated the city, but Julian was able to console the broken-hearted, insisting that God was not punishing them; that God loved each person. In the midst of her ministry, she said the words, “All Shall Be Well.”
