Revelations of Divine Love by of Norwich Julian
CHAPTER XXVI
218 words | Chapter 33
"It is I, it is I"
And after this our Lord shewed Himself more glorified, as to my sight,
than I saw Him before [in the Shewing] wherein I was learned that our
soul shall never have rest till it cometh to Him, knowing that He is
fulness of joy, homely and courteous, blissful and very life.
Our Lord Jesus oftentimes said: _I it am, I it am: I it am that is
highest, I it am that thou lovest, I it am that thou enjoyest, I it
am that thou servest, I it am that thou longest for, I it am that thou
desirest, I it am that thou meanest, I it am that is all. I it am that
Holy Church preacheth and teacheth thee, I it am that shewed me here to
thee._ The number of the words passeth my wit and all my understanding
and all my powers. And they are the highest, as to my sight: for
therein is comprehended--I cannot tell,--but the joy that I saw in
the Shewing of them passeth all that heart may wish for and soul may
desire. Therefore the words be not declared here; but every man after
the grace that God giveth him in understanding and loving, receive them
in our Lord's meaning.
