Julian of Norwich Quotes About Goodness

Quotes about: Goodness

• For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it. No created being can ever know how much and how sweetly and tenderly God loves them.

So I saw him and sought him; I had him and wanted him. It seems to me that this is and should be an experience common to us all.
