34. "All that is speedful for us to learn our Lord will show us" (The Thirteenth Revelation - That our Lord God wills we have great regard t...) (Revelations of Divine Love) (Julian of Norwich)

OUR Lord God showed two manner of secret things. One is this great Secret [Counsel] with all the privy points that belong thereto: and these secret things He wills we should know [as being, but as] hid until the time that He will clearly show them to us. The other are the secret things that He wills to make open and known to us; for He would have us understand that it is His will that we should know them. They are secrets to us not only for that He wills that they be secrets to us, but they are secrets to us for our blindness and our ignorance; and thereof He has great ruth, and therefore He will Himself make them more open to us, whereby we may know Him and love Him and cleave to Him. For all that is speedful for us to learn and to know, full courteously will our Lord show us: and [of] that is this [Showing], with all the preaching and teaching of Holy Church.

God showed full great pleasance that He has in all men and women that mightily and meekly and with all their will take the preaching and teaching of Holy Church. For it is His Holy Church: He is the Ground, He is the Substance, He is the Teaching, He is the Teacher, He is the End, He is the Meed for which every kind soul travails.

And this [of the Showing] is [made] known, and shall be known to every soul to which the Holy Ghost declares it. And I hope truly that all those that seek this, He shall speed: for they seek God.

All this that I have now told, and more that I shall tell after, is comforting against sin. For in the Third Showing when I saw that God does all that is done, I saw no sin: and then I saw that all is well. But when God showed me for sin, then said He: All SHALL be well.
