I want to personally welcome you to this special site devoted to celebrating and

promoting the life and work of one of my spiritual heroes: Henri Nouwen.

People all over the world have been extraordinarily impacted by the life

of this "imperfect" saint of God.

I invite you to join me in the continuing exploration of Nouwen's unique spirituality,

a spirituality that points us to Jesus, who specializes in working through

imperfect vessels like you and me.

On this welcome page, I share inspirational thoughts by Nouwen:

about his life, his work, his all-encompassing relationship—

with God, with others, and with himself.

Inspirational Thoughts

“A new beginning!
We must learn to live each day, each hour,
yes, each minute as a new beginning,
as a unique opportunity to make everything new.
Imagine that  we could live each moment as a moment pregnant with new life.
Imagine that we could live each day as a day full of promises.
Imagine that we could walk through the new year always listening
to a voice saying to us: 'I have a gift for you
and can't wait for you to see it!'
Imagine!”
