God Speaking to Julian about Unity

Today’s Reflection

“It is I, the might and goodness of fatherhood. It is I, the wisdom and kindness of motherhood. It is I, the light and the grace that is all blessed love. It is I, the Trinity. It is I, the Unity.”

—Edited by Keith Beasley-Topliffe, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of Julian of Norwich (Upper Room Books, 2017)

Today’s Question

There are many ways people describe God: Mother, Father, Friend, Light, Bread of Life, etc. What descriptions of God do you gravitate toward most? Which ones do you avoid?

Today’s Scripture

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.—Ephesians 4:4–6 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

God, in you all things are loved. When I see myself, may I see your love for me. When I see my neighbor, may I see your love for them. May I learn to love all beings as much as you do. Amen.
