"...the devout reader will, I hope, think oneself obliged not to content oneself with a fruitless admiring, but will, after her example, aspire to a life affectuous, operative contemplation of the meer nothingness of creatures, of the inconceivable ugliness of sin, of the infinite tenderness and indefectibility of God's love to God's elect, and of the omnipotency of Divine grace working in them; to which grace alone all good in us is to be ascribed." (Julian of Norwich in "Revelations of Divine Love", p.11)
