Dr. Gloria Durka se zab\u00fdv\u00e1 Thomasem Mertonem a jeho obdivem k Julianin\u011b pozitivn\u00ed teologii:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nau\u010dit se zachovat si nad\u011bji uprost\u0159ed temnoty utrpen\u00ed je boj, do kter\u00e9ho se \u010das od \u010dasu zapojujeme v\u0161ichni \u2013 a m\u016f\u017ee to b\u00fdt ho\u0159k\u00e1 zkou\u0161ka. Julianin optimismus n\u00e1m m\u016f\u017ee pomoci, stejn\u011b jako pomohl Thomasovi Mertonovi. Ve sv\u00e9 knize Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander (Domn\u011bnky vinn\u00e9ho p\u0159ihl\u00ed\u017eej\u00edc\u00edho) Merton napsal n\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hodn\u011b se modl\u00edm za moudr\u00e9 srdce a mo\u017en\u00e1 mi k tomu pom\u016f\u017ee znovuobjeven\u00ed lady Julian z Norwiche. Vzal jsem si jej\u00ed knihu s sebou na tichou proch\u00e1zku mezi cedry. Je to opravdov\u00e1 teolo\u017eka\u2026 Nejprve pro\u017eila, pak p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161lela, a promy\u0161len\u00e9 prohlubov\u00e1n\u00ed zku\u0161enosti se prom\u00edtalo zp\u011bt do jej\u00edho \u017eivota, st\u00e1le hloub\u011bji a hloub\u011bji, a\u017e se cel\u00fd jej\u00ed \u017eivot jako poustevnice v Norwichi stal pouhou z\u00e1le\u017eitost\u00ed \u00fapln\u00e9ho nasycen\u00ed sv\u011btlem, kter\u00e9 najednou p\u0159ijala\u2026 Jej\u00ed \u017eivot byl pro\u017eit ve v\u00ed\u0159e v toto \u201etajemstv\u00ed\u201c, ve \u201evelk\u00fd \u010din\u201c, kter\u00fd P\u00e1n vykon\u00e1 v den posledn\u00edho soudu, ne \u010din zni\u010den\u00ed a pomsty, ale milosrdenstv\u00ed a \u017eivota, kdy budou v\u0161echna \u010d\u00e1ste\u010dn\u00e1 o\u010dek\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed rozmet\u00e1na a v\u0161e bude napraveno\u2026 [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Julianina d\u00edla jsou prodchnuta k\u0159es\u0165anskou nad\u011bj\u00ed. Ve sv\u00e9m duchovn\u00edm \u017eivot\u011b pro\u017eila v\u0161echny aspekty nad\u011bje: sk\u00e1lopevnou spolehlivost Boha, Boha, kter\u00fd je v\u017edy nabl\u00edzku, Boha nemo\u017en\u00e9ho, Boha, kter\u00fd je pro n\u00e1s Otcem i Matkou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Julian si byla zvl\u00e1\u0161t\u011b v\u011bdoma radostn\u00e9ho charakteru nad\u011bje\u2026. Lidsk\u00e1 radost je pro Julianinu spiritualitu z\u00e1sadn\u00ed. Podle n\u00ed m\u00e1me b\u00fdt plni radosti, proto\u017ee na\u0161e radost v Bohu odr\u00e1\u017e\u00ed radost Trojice. Stvo\u0159en\u00ed je aktem Bo\u017e\u00ed radosti. \u010c\u00edm v\u011brn\u011bji a s v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed nad\u011bj\u00ed reagujeme na Bo\u017e\u00ed l\u00e1sku v na\u0161em \u017eivot\u011b, t\u00edm v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed bude plnost na\u0161\u00ed radosti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byla Julian n\u011bkdy aktu\u00e1ln\u011bj\u0161\u00ed? Jej\u00ed poselstv\u00ed nad\u011bje jist\u011b povzbudilo ducha mnoha lid\u00ed v jej\u00ed pohnut\u00e9 dob\u011b. Jej\u00ed poselstv\u00ed pravd\u011bpodobn\u011b pot\u0159ebujeme dnes p\u0159inejmen\u0161\u00edm stejn\u011b tak. Hrozba jadern\u00e9 katastrofy, mo\u017enost vyhynut\u00ed v\u0161ech forem \u017eivota na planet\u011b Zemi a smrt\u00edc\u00ed n\u00e1sil\u00ed mezi v\u00e1l\u010d\u00edc\u00edmi n\u00e1rody n\u00e1m denn\u011b p\u0159ipom\u00ednaj\u00ed mrak beznad\u011bje, kter\u00fd se vzn\u00e1\u0161\u00ed nad n\u00e1mi. Abychom pronikli temnotou zp\u016fsobenou ot\u0159esn\u00fdmi ud\u00e1lostmi, je zapot\u0159eb\u00ed velk\u00e1 v\u00edra a nad\u011bje\u2026. Pot\u0159ebujeme velkou v\u00edru a nad\u011bji, abychom vid\u011bli za temnotu na\u0161eho osobn\u00edho \u017eivota \u2013 za na\u0161e selh\u00e1n\u00ed, slabosti a strachy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ale temnota, strach a \u00fazkost jsou jen jednou stranou reality. Druhou stranou je to, \u017ee jsme velikono\u010dn\u00edm lidem. I kdy\u017e utrpen\u00ed je skute\u010dn\u00e9, \u017eivot, utrpen\u00ed, smrt a vzk\u0159\u00ed\u0161en\u00ed Je\u017e\u00ed\u0161e n\u00e1m v\u0161em zajistily jistotu, \u017ee smrt je pora\u017eena\u2026 Aleluja!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
