When we are hemmed in on every side, tempted by fiends, what is our recourse? What does our sister in faith Julian recommend? She insists that suffering, when viewed in the context of God almighty, is very small and quick, and therefore, can be borne “gladly and lightly.” How do we start on that path of perception in our everyday lives?

This is inspired by the twenty-fourth chapter of Julian of Norwich's short text, Revelations of Divine Love.
