The ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' quotes from ''Revelations of Divine Love'' in its explanation of how God can draw a greater good, even from evil.{{refn|{{CCC|313|21 November 2021|long=on}}|}} The poet [[T. S. Eliot]] incorporated "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well" three times into his poem "[[Little Gidding (poem)|Little Gidding]]", the fourth of his ''[[Four Quartets]]'' (1943), as well as Julian's "the ground of our beseeching".{{sfn|Newman|2011|p=427}} The poem renewed the English-speaking public's awareness of Julian's texts.{{sfn|Leech|Ward|1995|p=1}}{{refn|1=The medievalist [[Barbara Newman]] notes that Julian's saying within ''Little Gidding'' serves "as a refrain, much as it does in Julian's own ''Revelations of Love''", and that it was included at a late stage in the poem's development, after it had been worked on by Eliot for more than a year.{{sfn|Newman|2011|pp=427{{ndash}}428}}|group=note}}
