Summary
How does God view our sin? What does it mean to say that God is Love and Mercy? Tackle these deep questions at the heart of Lent with the wisdom of Blessed Julian of Norwich. We will dive into several of the 16 visions of the Lord she recorded in "Revelations of Divine Love" over 650 years ago and discover their meaning for us today as we journey toward Easter with Jesus.
Description
