About this offering

We will turn in this season of The Julian Circle to the great parable of the Lord and Servant at the heart of the Fourteenth Revelation (Chapter 51). Here, Julian reminds us that she spent almost 20 years (less three months!) receiving “teaching inwardly”; this long “parable” is the heart of the revelation that she received. What she discovers is that our identity is revealed in the misery we must face—for it is in our falling into the “mire” that we come to know that we are “God’s own city and dwell place.” Our stumblings open us to experience the transformation we long for, since our falling invites us to discover our beauty—which God never does not know.  This Circle, now in its eleventh “season,” is open for newcomers to Julian as well as those who’ve long journeyed with her “Revelations of Divine Love.”
