Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 to a poor Christian family in Lebanon. He and his family emigrated to the United States when he was twelve. He studied art in Paris but settled in New York where he devoted himself to painting and writing. He died in 1931, aged 48. He is reputed to be the third best-selling poet of all time. Mother Julian of Norwich was born around 1343. When she was thirty she became seriously ill and received visions of the Passion of Christ. When she recovered, she wrote down her experiences in Revelations of Divine Love, one of the earliest known books in the English language. She lived the solitary life of an anchorite in a cell attached to St Julian’s Church, Norwich, and died sometime after 1416. Love Divine – A Reflection for Good Fridaywas read by Rev’d Helen O’Sullivan, Rev’d Peter Hewlett-Smith and Simon deQuidt and was compiled and produced by members of the Whitewater Churches.
