The difference between rich and poor is not that the rich sin is more than the poor, that the rich find it easier to call sin a virtue.
Henri NouwenEverything changes radically from the moment you know yourself as being sent into this world.
Henri NouwenWhere is peace to be found? The answer is surprising but clear. In weakness. Why there? Because in our weakness, our familiar ways of controlling and manipulating our world are being stripped away, and we are forced to let go from doing much, thinking much, and relying on our self-sufficiency. Right there where we are most vulnerable, the peace that is not of this world is mysteriously hidden.
Henri NouwenThe leaders of the future will be those who dare to claim their irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation.
