Julian of Norwich: Revelations of Divine Love - Robert Fruehwirth

Julian of Norwich was a 14th century woman whose mystical experiences led her to believe in a God of unconditional love, of merciful compassion and honesty, and a radical belief in the goodness of creation and humanity, deeply challenging to medieval ideas of a God of wrath. Robert Fruehwirth explores faith’s consolations and challenges, using the wisdom and insight of Julian’s Revelations of Divine Love as a guide.

One of many Protestants who adores Julian for her radiance across time and these baby miles. Paz y luz.

I was invited to watch this conference to prepare a final exam and I do really felt as if I was attending an spiritual retreat. A very clear message ... thank you. Ezequiel, from Argentina.

wonderfully inspiring and informative.

[@blueotter5990]

Julian saw what Gautama understood. True understanding transcends different religious.beliefs. Love is all.

"Julian spirituality is fundamentally about compassion. Of allowing myself, and God, and the world, to be within me. Her compassion starts with compassion for God. She understands that the spiritual person has a feeling for how God is, how God experiences, how God feels, not only in her head but in her body. And this is because of her belief in Jesus as both God and as human. So she allows Jesus's humanity to impact her, affect her. Knowledge of Jesus's humanity gives her knowledge of God. So for Julian that journey of compassion begins with her compassionately opening herself to the person of Jesus, saying I want to share fully in your crucifixion, in your experience. I want to know what it was like to be you, because that's what it meant to be a lover of God, a friend of God. And that led Julian on a journey to become more compassionate with herself and to be more compassionate and accepting of the world.": Robert Fruehwirth 26:03; 28:20; to 30:10

15.35 - a companion, a sister, a mother... Acordingly to Swedenborg, all afections and bonds in heaven (glorified church) are family like ones. I´ve heard the same of some person that sufered NDE and had a vision of heaven.

[@kathleenmckenzie6261]

Klaus Ehrhardt: That's what I was thinking, that it sounds like the revelations of a NDE and the way it changes a person. Then we spend the next years trying to reconcile what we've seen in the NDE with the ugliness we see in everyday life. For me, it has taken letting go of control, letting go of the need to think I know the ultimate outcome, to practice being present in the moment -- just many things that I can't explain in a few words. It's an individual journey each of us must undertake.

[@klausehrhardt4481]

@@kathleenmckenzie6261 The life of love - the only Life indeed - will always take the form of an sacrifice. I'm used to long words and long faces, but I'm also familiar with children's smile and uncomplicated joy. I take it all, for being here on earth is a privilege, a honor, a grace and a mercy. To live and engage one more day or to give up my spirit shall be to me always an act of obedience - so help me God!. I've seen good and evil as everyone else, yet I do not think many reckon their own days. It would become means of salvation for many if they opnened their eyes - here and now - to the fact that goodness inifinitely surpasses evil. As G.K. Chesterton said, the ultimate test for hapiness is gratitude. The Lord is with us, yet not everyone is with the Lord and perhaps very, very few are with him always during this journey trough this vale of tears. Peace! P.S.: If it means something to you to tell others, would you please condescend in telling me more about your own journey?

[@blueotter5990]

Julian saw what Gautama understood.

[@catholicman9404]

It's important to become a Catholic in union with the Holy See, because in the Church we find the fullness of God in Christ, we find ourselves in God's plan of salvation and our journey to heaven through the passion. St julian pray for us 🇬🇧🇻🇦🙏

[@klausehrhardt4481]

I wonder if there is a link between this Lady Julian of Norwich and Emanuel Swedenborg. I didn´t yet read her´s book, but for what I could tell, it is very similar to what Swedenborg teaches about heavenly love in his Arcana Coelestia. If somenone there could help me, I´d be most peased. God bless.

[@yukonfarnsworth1688]

God gave us all free will. And with that you can choose not to go to heaven.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Whom would chose not to go to Heaven - given knowledge of it and its alternative ?

[@Jamhael1]

There is no need of pointless dogma - what to dress, what to eat, whom to pray, whom to love: complete and pointless non-sense that just get in the way of the true good that lies within the Human heart

[@maureenoconnor4430]

that talk was too general not focused on Julian maybe the questions brought a few ideas

[@Theslavedrivers]

This guy is quite adept at throwing out phrases and concepts that seem to be heading somewhere quite earth-shattering, but then entirely abandoning them, a couple of sentences later! ... 'In process of being made well' ... 'God and soul interrogating each other in a room' ... Much is promised, nothing is ever fleshed-out ...

[@mariajordan3650]

You cannot be a very close to God in all His guide of the Spirit and Word and doubt in existence of Hell and some people ending there because of their own will of choice. Other then this the Cross was not necessary as the very only Way for all of us to be accepted by and in God now and in the Eternity! This does not change the fact that God is full of compassion and Love towards all of us. That's actually causes Him to give us a free choice not forcing us to receive His Kingdom! And it is actually Jesus Himself talking about some being punished eternally and thrown into pit of Hell! however, God does not draw any satisfaction from that fact, because He wants all of us to end WELL!

[@Aqualyra]

He didn't say there was no hell. He did not say God is not also God of justice and not just love. God is bigger than we humans and God does not fit into any box we try to cram God into.

[@yukonfarnsworth1688]

Exactly free will doesnt end when we die. And a lot of people willingly choose to not go to heaven. And the jewish version of hell is simply being detached from the spirit of god.

[@mariajordan3650]

Oh, my God what kind of extra explanation regarding suffering in this world also for us Christians, are needed? God is perfect in Love, Jesus' redemption for us is perfect for any kind of sin/curse/suffering in this world. However, the world does not officially belong to God, our first Parents through their rebellion have lost their God's given authority and it fell to satan. So, we live in a dark world with so much light and blessing that we will know how to obtain from God through perfect salvation in Jesus! Jesus has given us back the authority over darkness and troubles. It's the matter to learn to use it for ourselves and the life around us. We fail often to believe enough, we fail often to press through long enough in prayer and fight, we fail often looking at things in their physical appearance instead from the perspective of God's promises and offers fulfilled through Christ. And this goes on and on and on! And God can give us only according to our faith, He said that through Jesus! But He also said that everything is possible for one who believes, even moving the mountains! Jesus has never turned anybody running to Him for healing and deliverance! He never asked those people to go and meditate more on faith and come back, never asked them to be born again, never asked about any other status of life, all He wanted in His compassionate heart them to be well! Do we run with the same determination to Jesus with our problems as the people of His time on earth did!!!!?????!!!!! Or do we give up too early and even turn our back on God in lack of understanding of His will and Love! Never ask:"Why", when the trouble strikes, ask:" Lord, what should I do and how to pray now to get out of here?"

[@teamcrumb]

please pay some respects to Robert and take in this beautiful lecture/sermon, your mind is running away with you. it is not clear how you wish to help others in what you say

[@mariajordan3650]

God of Old Testament is the God of the New Testament! But in the Old Testament there is the Law as our judgment, and breaking the Law means death! And in the New Testament there is grace and mercy released upon us through the Love and sacrificial Blood of Jesus on the Cross. And under this grace there is always extension of God's mercy for us!

Anyone who wants to spend their life in a tiny cell has got to be "odd" This life would drive most people crazy. Maybe her visions were psychotic delusions.

[@MistyRain1333]

The Bible is clear on hell! She did have compassion right! The Bible says there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
