Trigger Warning: Julian speaks of hell, purgatory, and the “curse of the Jews” in this passage. It seems to me that she does it to engage God in the most sticky questions she can muster about limits in God’s mercy. She always seeks to square the “teaching of Holy Church” with the visions she has been receiving, and today she plumbs the depths of whether God’s mercy has limits and what the implications might be if God’s mercy is limitless.

This is inspired by the thirty-third chapter of Julian of Norwich's long text, Revelations of Divine Love.
