ULIAN OF NORWICH lived in an English cathedral city in the fourteenth, and the beginning of the fifteenth, centuries.

contemplative, she wrote a theological treatise about her Showing of Love that can speak to us today.

he may also have participated in a medieval form of the Internet, called the Friends of God, in which both men and women, across Europe and through time shared their contemplative texts and supported each other in that work of contemplation, hallowing Creator and Creation .

  Sister Anna Maria Reynolds C.P. was the greatest editor Julian ever had. During WWII she transcribed the extant microfilms with a microscope, a word at a time, for her Leeds University MA and Ph.D. theses. Subsequent editions are based on her meticulous work. In her nineties, blind, frail, she created a fine CD in which she discussed Julian with total recall of the text. It can be obtained for 12 euro from her at Cross and Passion Convent, 22 Griffith Avenue, Marino, Bublin 9, EIRE.

And Father Nathanael Smyth of Beloved Memory

The Jesuits’ Postulator General, Fr. Paolo Molinari, SJ, whose first book was on Julian of Norwich, researches the lives of candidates for beatification and sainthood, Jesuits and others. Watching over him at the Curia in Rome are Jesuit saints Jogues, Borgia, Ignatius, and Xavier.
