Mother Julian of Norwich lived in the fourteenth century. She lived a life of contemplation and love for God. Here are some quotes from her about God our Mother.
‘For the Almighty Truth is our father, for he made us and preserves us in himself; the deep wisdom of the Trinity is our mother, in whom we are enclosed.’
‘And thus in our creation God Almighty is our natural father, and God all-wisdom is our natural mother, with the love and goodness of the Holy Spirit.’
‘The Second Person of the Trinity is our mother in nature, in our substantial making. In him we are grounded and rooted, and he is our mother by mercy in our sensuality, by taking flesh.’
‘Our natural mother, our gracious mother, because he willed to become our mother in everything, took the ground for his work most humbly and most mildly in the maiden’s womb.’
‘A mother can give her child milk to suck, but our precious mother Jesus, can feed us with himself.’
‘To motherhood as properties belong natural love, wisdom and knowledge - and this is God.’
