This is a look at the Divine vision account of Saint Julian of Norwich in her "Showings" or "Revelations of Divine Love. As she explains, these series of fifteen visions were received by her through bodily sight, spiritual sight, as well as words formed in her understanding. Julian composed both a short text, and a long text of the unpacking of her visions in no shorter than 86 chapters, exploring the graphic imagery of the crucifixion of her Lord and what she took from it over 15 years of examination. Julian's mystical message is rooted in the Pauline theology of sin, grace, and redemption in Jesus, especially the notion of the solidarity of humanity in Christ. But she goes beyond this often misunderstood perspective with her development of the concept of the Motherhood of Jesus. Perhaps her greatest insight from her visions into the nature of reality is that both the ultimate subject, object, and final cause are one and the same: love.
