Julian's 'Revelations Of Divine Love'

Its reliability remains a central concern of historians and biographers with her Book, since she began recording her divine encounters almost twenty years after they began. Also, since Margery was illiterate, she dictated her work to a priest, who may have altered her words and doctrines to make them more acceptable and in tune with the religious beliefs of the time.

Little is known about Julian of Norwich. She does, however, state that in May 1373, at the age of 30, she became gravely ill and on the brink of death. It was during this illness God granted her a series of 16 visions that were rooted in a vivid awareness of Christ’s passion. These visions were later recorded in two texts, which are commonly known as the Short Text and the Long Text or as A Vision and A Revelation. The former can be dated to 1370-80 and the later composed in 1390-1400.

Revelations of Divine Love is one of the most renowned Christian texts, mainly because it is known to be the first published book in the English language that was written by a woman. It was written by Julian of Norwich, a woman who reflects the nature of the medieval time period. She would come to define a representation of the connection that people can have to divine beings in many variety of forms by being a famous mystic. As she interprets her mystic experiences, she depicts Jesus Christ as a “working mother” of the Trinity. Her belief is that Christ embodies the characteristics of motherhood and this would enable a caring and nurturing foundation for the Christian faith. Christ as mother extends to both to the physical humanity in bodily bleeding and suffering in order to give life and to the spirituality of Christ whom delivers the soul; eternal and heavenly. This motherhood of Christ is a vital part of Julian’s theology and the idea of feminine love extends even to sin and salvation. But most of all, she depicts Christ as feminine, not to distinguish him as being even more of a woman, but to analyze a blurring of the genders, having Christ, and therefore God as beyond manmade categories. In turn, this would come to positively impact women by having an idol that is not androgynous. This follows the Trinity being a father, mother and lordship (Father, Son and Holy Ghost).

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska was born Helena Kowalska on August 25, 1905 in Głogowiec, Poland. Helena’s family was very religious, so she and her nine siblings grew up with an understanding of the Catholic faith, despite their immense poverty. It was apparent that she was deeply interested in Catholicism from a very young age. She first attended Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at the impressionable age of seven. From there, her love of prayer and devotion to the Lord only increased. She celebrated her first Holy Communion at age nine. Helena only had a three-year education. Right when she got out of school, she wanted to enter a convent. However, her parents refused to give her permission. Once she became old enough, Helena got a job as a housekeeper to support herself and her family. She never could have expected the coming wonders the Lord had in store for her.

She felt as if she was actually there with Mary watching Jesus. She also talked about how original sin is essential. If sinning did
