EXPLORATION OF JULIAN NORWICH This Lent are you looking for an encounter with Jesus the Christ, to deepen your love relationship with him? Then this book study may be just for you! A Lenten Contemplative Book Study An Explorer’s Guide to Julian of Norwich by Veronica Mary Rolf 6 Tuesdays, March 8 thru April 12 either AM (10:30-12) or PM (6:30 – 8) (Please plan to attend all 6 sessions. Select the time that suits you and stay with it if possible, to build some community) Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love is truly an astounding work: An inspired example of Christian mysticism, a unique contribution to Christian Theology, the first book in English known to have been written by a woman. But it can also be daunting work! Veronica Mary Rolf, who has been studying Julian’s text for decades, serves as a trustworthy guide for readers willing to take up and read Julian’s work. Rolf not only sets Julian’s life and text in their 14th century context, but she also sheds light on each of her 16 revelations. She then digs deeper into Julian’s theological themes including her innovative mystical theology of the “Motherhood of God.” Rolf takes a deeply contemplative approach to Julian, illuminating our understanding of this extraordinary woman, her enduring work, and the revelation that “All shall be well.” We will engage the text in our own settings in-between sessions, and then take time for reflection together and in solitude during our weekly gatherings.
