This book contains four papers read at a conference held on 2–3 February 2023 to mark 650 years of the Revelations of Divine Love. They show the breadth and reach of Julian’s inspiration in today’s world, from personal issues such as impatience and despair (Mother Hilary Crupi) to the great questions of climate change and biodiversity loss (Bishop Graham Usher). The essays also examine the place of compassion in today’s increasingly cruel world (Sister Elizabeth Ruth Obbard) and what the monastic tradition as it is lived today might reveal about Julian presence (Father Colin).

Sister Elizabeth Ruth Obbard OC is a Carmelite nun, and a previous trustee of the Friends of Julian, who contributed to the vision that became the Companions of Julian.
Father Colin CSWG is Superior of the Servants of the Will of God, a contemplative Anglican religious community in the UK, which reconciles the breadth of the Christian tradition, East and West.
Mother Hilary Crupi OJN is Guardian of the Order of Julian of Norwich, an Anglican contemplative community based in White Lake, Wisconsin, with affiliates all over the world.
