“… God almighty is our loving Father, and God all wisdom is our loving Mother, with the love and the goodness of the Holy Spirit, which is all one God, one Lord. And in the joining and the union he is our very true spouse and we his beloved wife and his fair maiden, with which wife he was never displeased; for he says: I love you and you love me, and our love will never divide in two.” -Julian of Norwich, from Showings, as published in Theological Aesthetics, A Reader, edited by Gesa Elsbeth Thiessen.
