About this offering
Julian was a poet. In many ways, she lived out the wisdom that Mary Oliver once spoke when she described praying as “the doorway/ into thanks, and a silence in which/ another voice may speak.” Join us to explore what it might mean to walk through such a “doorway,” discovering with Julian what it means “to see God in everything.” Everything? The bad along with the good? Darkness as well as light? Suffering alongside joy? In times of great uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, like ours?
Come to explore Julian’s poetic way of knowing which we discover, with her, in the silences beyond speech—where “another voice may speak.” Join us on the Feast Day of Julian as we behold together what it means to embrace Love at the heart of our lives, in everything. For this is the path she blazed in her “Book” by which we, too, might experience her conviction that “all shall be well, and all shall be well, and every manner of thing shall be well.”
