#52: In the Simplicity of my Heart
In today’s episode Adrianna, Giuliana and Sofia consider simplicity. What is the simple truth of the Christian life? How can we discover every circumstance as a good for us? Where are we experiencing new life through cultivating simplicity of heart? // Our media recommendation is a page from Julian of Norwich’s Showings: the 10th revelation of the 24th chapter, which you can find here https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Revelations_of_Divine_Love/Chapter_24.
