All Shall Be Well: The Life and Revelations of Julian of Norwich

"I had often wondered why God in his wisdom could not have prevented the origin of sin. For if he had, I thought, then all would have been well. But Jesus answered me with these words: 'Sin is necessary [inevitable], but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well. It is true that sin is the cause of all this pain, but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.'" -Julian of Norwich
