Solitude, community, and ministry are certainly not just for celibates! Celibates also have a hard time keeping up.
Henri NouwenWhen everything is dark, when we are surrounded by despairing voices, when we do not see any exits, then we can find salvation in a remembered love, a love which is not simply a recollection of a bygone past but a living force which sustains us in the present. Through memory, love transcends the limits of time and offers hope at any moment of our lives.
Henri NouwenFor me the university has always been an ideal context for spiritual formation. I always felt that if you want to offer spiritual formation at the university, you can.
