Trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand (Henri Nouwen Quotes)

From the moment we claim the truth of being the beloved, we are faced with the call to become who we are (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Community is the fruit of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Ministry is a very confronting service. It does not allow people to live with illusions of immortality and wholeness. It keeps reminding others that they are mortal and broken, but also that with the recognition of this condition, liberation starts (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
A prayerful life is not a life in which we say many prayers, but a life in which nothing, absolutely nothing, is done, said, or understood independently of him who is the origin and purpose of our existence (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Active waiting means present fully to the moment, in the conviction that something is happening where you are and that you want to be present to it (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
In the face of the oppressed I recognize my own face, and in the hands of the oppressor I recognize my own hands. Their flesh is my flesh, their blood is my blood, their pain is my pain, their smile is my smile (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Forgiveness changes the way we remember. It converts the curse into a blessing. Forgiveness indeed heals memories (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
The spiritual life is a life beyond moods. It is a life in which we choose joy and do not allow ourselves to become victims of passing feelings of happiness or depression (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
That is our vocation: to convert the enemy into a guest and to create the free and fearless space where brotherhood and sisterhood can be formed and fully experienced (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Every time I take a step in the direction of generosity, I know I am moving from fear to love (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
The immense joy in welcoming back the lost son hides in the immense sorrow that has gone before... our brokenness may appear beautiful, but our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Learning to weep, learning to keep vigil, learning to wait for the dawn. Perhaps this is what it means to be human (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Which questions guide our lives? Which questions do we make our own? Which questions deserve our undivided and full personal commitment? Finding the right questions is crucial to finding the answers (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
We have to trust that our stories deserve to be told. We may discover that the better we tell our stories the better we will want to live them (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Our tendency is to run from the painful realities or try to change them as soon as possible. But cure without care makes us into rulers, controllers, manipulators (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
Praying is no easy matter. It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your person, to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, and to touch there what you would rather leave untouched (Henri Nouwen Quotes)
