Words of affirmation…
Words of love and affirmation are like bread. We need them each day, over and over. They keep us alive inside.
–Henri Nouwen (1932-1996)
The guiding hand of God…
Let’s not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God.
–Henri Nouwen (1932-1996)
Our vocation is hidden…
It is very important to realize that our vocation is hidden in where we are and who we are. We are unique human beings, each with a call to realize in life what nobody else can, and to realize it in the concrete context of the here and now.
–Henri Nouwen (1932-1996)
Each day holds a surprise…
Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy. It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity.
–Henri Nouwen (1932-1996)
Our own choices…
God writes the story of our lives with the pen strokes of our own free choices.
–Peter Kreeft (1937-
Ever conscious of God…
Oh, how happy is this soul that is ever conscious of God resting and reposing within its breast!
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
