Juliana: from without beginning

Wednesday, May 8, 2013
    Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417
Meditation:
But from everlasting to everlasting
    the LORD’S love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—
    —Psalm 103:17 (NIV)
Quotation:
    I saw full surely in this and in all, that ere God made us he loved us; which love never slackened, nor ever shall be. And in this love he hath done all his works; and in this love he hath made all things profitable to us; and in this love our life is everlasting. In our making we had beginning; but the love wherein he made us was in him from without beginning; in which love we have our beginning. And all this shall we see in God, without end.
