c. 14th century woman sits at a desk in her simple, one-room
dwelling attached to a church in Norwich. The room has three
windows. Through one she can see the altar of St Julian's Church,
through another the people of the town come to unburden themselves
to her, through the third a maid brings her food, drink and water
for washing. Known only as 'the lady at St Julian's of Norwich',
she experienced an extraordinary series of visions and her record
of them, published as The Revelations of Divine Love, became not
only the first book in English to be written by a woman, but an
enduringly popular spiritual classic. Her words speak afresh to
each new generation with striking contemporary relevance. This
engaging volume explores the very modern understanding Julian of
Norwich had of the need for balance to keep our spiritual lives
healthy and productive. Exemplified by the three windows in her
cell - one representing adoration and love for God, one the service
of others, one the importance of recognising one's own limitations
and need of support -here is profound wisdom tempered by the
practical realities of day-to-day living. Through Julian's Windows
helps us to gain a deeper self-awareness so that we may grow in
compassion for others and in our longing for union with God.
Elizabeth Ruth Obbard lives as a solitary at the Carmelite friary
at Aylesford, Kent. She is the author of numerous books including
Every Pilgrim's Guide to Walsingham, also published by the
Canterbury Press.
