This weeks’ Lenten meditation is taken from the 14th century saint, Julian of Norwich:
By contrition we are made clean; by compassion, ready; and by a genuine longing for God; worthy.
It is by means of these three that souls can attain heaven, as I understand it. By these medicines, it is necessary for every soul to be healed. Though healed, the soul’s wounds are still seen by God; not as wounds, but rather, as honorable scars.
