Henri Nouwen Quotes

When we honestly ask ourselves

which person in our lives means the most to us,

we often find it is those who,

instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,

have chosen rather to share our pain

and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Community is a sign that love is possible in a broken world.

The great illusion is that we are what we own.

Joy does not simply happen to us.

We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
