From Julian of Norwich on the homeliness and courtesy of God

Revelations of Divine Love

The Seventh Chapter

(An image of the drops of blood falling from the crown of thorns on the head of Jesus)
........the plenteousness is like to the drops of water that fall off the eaves after a great shower of rain, that fall so thick that no man may number them with bodily wit;...........

And of all the sight it was most comfort to me that our God and Lord, that is so reverend and dreadful, is so homely and courteous: and this most fulfilled me with comfort and secureness of  soul.

.......Then thinketh this poor creature thus: "And what might this noble Lord do (of) more worship and joy to me than to show me, that am so simple, this marvellous homeliness? Soothly it is more joy and liking to me than (if) he gave me great gifts and were himself strange in manner."
   This bodily example was shewed so highly that man's heart might be ravished and almost forgetting itself for joy of the great homeliness. Thus it fareth with our Lord Jesus and us. For soothly it is the most joy that may be, as to my sight, that he that is highest and mightiest, noblest and worthiest, is lowest and meekest, homeliest and most courteous: and truly and soothly this marvellous joy shall be shown us all when we see him.
   And this willeth our Lord, that we seek for and trust to, joy and delight in him, comforting us and solacing us, as we may, with his grace and with his help, unto the time that we see it verily. For the most fulnes of joy that we shall have, as to my sight, is the marvellous courtesy and homeliness of our Father that is our maker, in our Lord Jesus Christ that is our Brother and our Saviour.
