About this listen

 Julian of Norwich (c. November 8, 1342 – c. 1416) is celebrated as one of the most profound English mystics. Although much about her life remains a mystery, her writings continue to resonate through the ages. The name Julian itself is derived from the Church of St Julian in Norwich, where she lived as an anchoress in a cell adjacent to the church. At the age of thirty, after enduring a severe illness that brought her to the brink of death, Julian experienced a series of vivid visions. These extraordinary revelations, which ceased upon her recovery on May 13, 1373, would later inspire her seminal work, Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love (circa 1393)—a landmark text believed to be the first book authored by a woman in the English language. Over time, Julian emerged as a revered spiritual authority, known and respected throughout England. (Summary from Wikipedia)Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Spirituality
