“When we have fallen through frailty or blindness then our courteous Lord touches us, stirs and calls us, and then he wills that we should see our wretchedness and humbly acknowledge it. But it is not his will that we should stay like this nor does he will that we should busy ourselves with too much self-accusation nor is it his will that we should despise ourselves but he wills that we should quickly turn to him. He is quick to clasp us to himself for we are his joy and his delight and he is our salvation and our life.”
by Julian of Norwich, 14th century English anchorite and mystic
