Even today, with great joy I remember my apostolic journey to the UK, which took place in September

The value of the monasteries and trust in God our aspiration noticed the Holy Father Benedict XVI during today's general audience in the Vatican. Pope catechesis dedicated English hermit, one of the largest pressure washing charlotte representatives of Christian mysticism St. Holy Julian Noryzha.
Even today, with great joy I remember my apostolic journey to the UK, which took place in September of this year. England is a land that has become pressure washing charlotte home to many vytatnyh persons who his testimony and teaching pressure washing charlotte the history of the church pressure washing charlotte is decorated. One of them, very much appreciated, and the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church, it mistychka Julian of Norwich, which I would like to tell you today.
We do not know much about her life. Most of what we know comes from the book in which this clever and modest woman has collected all of their vision. pressure washing charlotte This book is called pressure washing charlotte "Revelations of Divine Love." It is known that Julian lived between pressure washing charlotte approximately one thousand three hundred forty-two and 1430 years. This period was very turbulent for the Church, which is due to the schism, the pope proclaimed after returning from Avinёnu in Rome, as well as for all the people who witnessed the great war between England and France. But God, even in the unhappy pressure washing charlotte times to send such figures as Julian of Norwich, to call for peace, love and joy.
As she tells Julian, in May 1373 it overtook a very serious illness and it seemed that a few days later she had to die. The priest, who was her bedside, showed her at the Crucifixion, and then Julian had sixteen events, which she later described in his book "Revelations of Divine pressure washing charlotte Love." Fifteen years later, the Lord revealed to her that the meaning of these visions. "You wanted to know what your Lord has revealed to you these revelations? Know that what He revealed to you - this is love. Who showed it to you? Love. Why do you showed her? Out of love ... So you will understand that our Lord is love. "
Inspired by divine love, Julian decided to radically change his life. She settled in one cell, very close to the Church, who had the title of St. Julian, in the center of Norwich, while important city, near London. It is assumed that their name is Juliana took the title of the Church, next to which she lived for many years, until his death.
Lives alone in this time dedicated themselves to many women, they designed a rule, such as the rule of St. Elreda Rivolskogo. Devoted themselves to prayer, reflection pressure washing charlotte and study. Many men and women are very often turned to these people for advice, comfort and explanations of their problems. Thus the choice of Juliana was not inspired individualistic, but the future is close to the Lord, she was brought up by the ability to be savetnitsay for many dapamozhnitsay to those who lived in difficulties. If Julian died on the headstone, "Mother Julian." It really became a mother for many.
Women and men who choose to live in the company of God, thanks to this choice gain deep sympathy for the weaknesses of people. Friends and friends of God, they are endowed with the wisdom pressure washing charlotte of the world from which they are removed, and share it with those who are knocking at their door. I think about the many monasteries klyavzurovyh that today, peace and hope, a precious gift for the whole Church, especially in the proclamation of the primacy of God and the importance of deep and fervent prayer pressure washing charlotte in the way of faith.
From the books of St. Julian of Norwich to us is very reassuring message, based on the belief that God loves us and protects his Providence. Read these remarkable words: "God even before we create, we loved with a love that will never fade away. And in this love He created everything in this love, he made sure that every thing is useful for us in this life, our love will last forever ... This love we have our goal, and we see it all in God Without Borders. "
God's love is always returned in the phenomena of Julian of Norwich, and it does not compare pressure washing charlotte with a mother's love. It is one of the main messages of mystical pressure washing charlotte theology Juliana. pressure washing charlotte Care and kindness of God are so big to us, pilgrims on earth, reminiscent of a mother's love for her children. Love God above human love. In the words of the prophet Isaiah: "a woman forget her sucking child, that she should pressure washing charlotte not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even if she forget, I will not forget you "(Isaiah 49, 15). Julian of Norwich clear message for svaёgo spiritual life: God is love, and only if you open to this love, and let her, everything will change, you will find peace and true joy and you will be able to afford them. "
I would like to emphasize another point. Catechism of the Catholic Church quotes pressure washing charlotte the words of St. Julian of Norwich, when he speaks about the attitude of the Catholic faith to the question that does not provoke believers. If God is the highest good, and wisdom, why is there evil and suffering of the innocent? Even saints asked this question. Lit the light of faith, they give an answer, open
