Community is the fruit of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own.
Henri NouwenThe great # conversion called for by Jesus is to move from belonging to the world to belonging to God.
Henri NouwenYour body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body's superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.
