“The cause why we are so troubled with these sins is because of our ignorance of love. To this knowledge we are most blind, for some of us believe that God is all powerful and able to do all, and that He is all wisdom and knows how to do all. But that He is all love and will do all, there we stop. This ignorance is that which most hinders God’s lovers. There persists a fear that hinders us because of paying attention to ourselves and the sins we have done in the past. We do not know how to despise the sin of self-hatred, as we do other sins which we recognize.” ~Julian of Norwich
