Thomas Merton on Julian of Norwich

The theology of Lady Julian [of Norwich] is a theology of the all- embracing totality and fullness of the divine love. This is, for her, the ultimate Reality, in the light of which all created being and all the vicissitudes of life and of history fade into unimportance. Not that the world and time, the cosmos and history are unreal: but their reality is only a revelation of love.
