Sunday’s Reflection
IT IS GOD’S WILL that we have true delight with God
in our salvation and that we be mightily comforted and strengthened.
And so God wants our souls to be
occupied joyfully with God’s grace.
For we are God’s bliss,
for God delights in us without end,
and so, by God’s grace, will we delight in God.
—Julian of Norwich, 14th century
