Her choice came after having received Revelations from God, that she meditated for 20 years before writing them down. She is the first woman to ever write a book in English. Pope Benedict XVI said about her: “Julian of Norwich understood the central message for spiritual life: God is love and it is only if one opens oneself to this love, totally and with total trust, and lets it become one's sole guide in life, that all things are transfigured, true peace and true joy found and one is able to radiate it.”
