"Soul turned to Accuser, and withstood him face to face. He displayed his open wound, and spoke these words: "This is MY wound. I receive it; I cherish it. It is the price of my love for Friend, which I willingly pay. I find in him no fault at all!" The Accuser again screamed in disgust and fled the courtroom, and the creatures began to sing and worship. The Holy One then could be clearly seen to smile, as He reached out His pierced hands to Soul, and spoke: "Well done, you good and faithful servant!" And again the Judge's gavel fell, and His voice thundered: "Not guilty!""

Julian of Norwich
