@Kathleen — when looking for God don’t worry about hell. Hell/demons, etc is actually a state of mind and spirit brought on mostly by fear and anger at worldly issues. God is all embracing and all the pain and evil and sorrow in the world is nothing to his mercy but a “live coal in the sea” (William Langland). By contacting God, any sorrow and evil in the world can be coped with by maintaining your connection. I like this phrase: “I am poised and centered in God/Christ/God’s Love and nothing can disturb the peace of my soul”

What does Julian have to say about what she saw of hell. The ‘journey’ I am now on is getting me to a # of references, and it has taken me this long to try and figure all this out. At age 17, I wanted to know why there was war (i.e., evil), and why God permitted this. I considered being a Nun but my life’s journey led me elsewhere. It took me this long to finally get some serious answers…ok, so I admit to distractions along the way! I am now being directed to sites re: the Christian mystics who it seems got the answer centuries ago. I know…God is simple, and everything else is complex. Any comments to educate me…illumanati, reptiles, scary stuff…is it real or just a scare tactic…can you direct me to the correct text, book or saint/s who might address. Thanks!

Sorry, not familiar with the Saint of the Plum Robe. Julian of Norwich is not associated with a plum robe, so it must be another saint. Good luck with your search.

I am looking for a mystic, Saint Juliana who is also referred to as “The Saint of the Plum Robe”. Anyone know where to direct me to?

Thank you

[...] I’ve read a translation of Revelations of Divine Love. I’ve read a few commentaries of her writings. There are many translations and many discussions concerning Julian of Norwich’s theology. Mostly, there appears to be some agreement that hers is a “theology where the love of God is expressed not in terms of law and duty, but in terms of joy… [...]

Julian’s Trinitarian theology is truly beautiful, and it dances throughout her book. Your comment explores the profound mystery of the Trinity, simultaneously three persons and one God. The Persons are also functions, never “just” persons or “just” functions. The great mystery of the Holy Trinity lies in how the three persons can be truly “other” in terms of how they inter-relate, and yet are One God. But I think that mystery replicates itself on the human level. When human beings love one another, they share in the mystery of the paradox of otherness and oneness, of which the Holy Trinity/One God is a sign.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments over the past few days. I’ve added you to my blogroll.
