JULIAN OF NORWICH
Patron of Cats
Julian of Norwich (1342 – c. 1416), the great English mystic and visionary, lived as an anchorite in a cell built into the wall of a church, prayed and gave counsel to visitors. A longstanding legend is that Julian had a cat in her cell; a stained-glass church window in Norwich shows Julian with her cat. It is easy to imagine the two contemplatives together, and easy to understand the practical reason why the only other living soul allowed in an anchorite's cell was a cat --- to keep rats and mice at bay. To this day, the site of her (and her companion cat's) cell is a place of pilgrimage.
Cast in stone and painted by hand. Includes gift box & story card. Stands or hangs on hook. 5 ¼ " x 5 ¼" x 1 ¾" Made in USA.

REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE
(5-CD Audio Book Set)
Some consider these 16 Revelations to be the height of European mysticism. Julian (ca. 1342-1416), a Benedictine nun in Norwich, England, spent 20 years meditating on her visions before writing about them. Although she lived in a time of turmoil, her theology is optimistic, speaking of God in terms of universal love and of human suffering not as divine punishment. Translated in 1901 by Grace Warren, a Dean and Professor of English and read beautifully by Pam Ward, this audiobook is both scholarly and accessible. 37 separate track, so listeners can easily stop and repeat sections. Approx. 6 hours.
