SELECTIONS FROM THE mediations of Dftrfne Lobe fjetoeO to 6(c)ot&er 3IuUana of jQorim'cb 1373 JULIANA OF NORWICH English mystic, author of "Revelations of Divine Love"; born near Norwich in 1342; said to have been "yet in life" in 1442. She became a recluse in an anchorage attached to the Church of St. Julian of Norwich. In the first chapter of her "Revelations" she says: "This is a revelation of love, that Jesu Christ our endless blisse made in xvi. shewings." In the second chapter she says: "This revelation was made to a simple creature unlettered, living in deadlie flesh, the year of our Lord, a thousand three hundreth lxxiij, the xiiijth daie of Maie: which creature desired before three gifts by the grace of God. 'The first was mind of the passion.' 'The second was bodilie sickness.' 'The third was to have of God's gift three woundes, ... that is to say, the wound of verie contrition, the wound of kind compassion, and the wound of willful longing to God'" The book is a record of twenty years' meditation on these experiences.

Wit it well: Love was his meaning. Who sheweth it thee? Love. Wherefore sheweth he it thee? For love. Hold thee therein, thou shalt wit more in the same.

Excerpt from Selections From the World's Devotional Classics, Vol. 10 of 10 12. For myself, thy unworthy servant, I will bless thee while I live, that in the decline of my days thou art giving me to enjoy the leisure and serenity of a peaceful retreat, where by pious meditation and fervent prayer, a ready submission to thy providence, and a growing complacency in thy works, the con stant exercise of good will toward men, and the elevating hope of the gospel, I may double my diligence to prepare for the inevitable hour. And when it shall arrive, grant, most merciful Father, through the mediation of my divine Master and only Savior, that I may obtain an easy passage from this to a happier region, and be admitted to worship thee in the temples of eternity.

Excerpt from Selections From the World's Devotional Classics, Vol. 8 of 10 Be constant, and cheer up thine heart in whatsoever disquiet these tribulations may cause to thee. Enter within it, that thou mayest overcome it, for therein is the divine fortress which defends, protects, and fights for thee. If a man hath a safe fortress, he is not disquieted tho his enemies pursue him, because, by his retreating within it, these are disappointed and overcome. The strong castle that will make thee triumph over all thine enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and tribulations, is within thine own soul, because in it resides the divine aid and sovereign succor. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
