@thelepper okay, it's not every day... It's not every year you find someone on (insert fav platform here) who mentions #HenriNouwen in their bio. I've devoured his writings for years. Outside of my circle of friends, no one knows who he is when I mention him. Tragic, really. Glad I found your timeline. Cheers!

“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.”
― Henri Nouwen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Nouwen

New Instance, new #introduction (3/3).

And no, I'm not interested in conspiracy theories.

Per my bio, I'm a fangirl of both St. #JosemariaEscriva and #DorothyDay; I also count Sts. #EdithStein, #FaustinaKowalska, and #MaximilianKolbe; Ven. #BrunoLanteri; #ThomasMerton; and #HenriNouwen among my personal squad of saints. I look forward to connecting with Catholics and others of faith here.

#HenriNouwen #meditation for today: God is at Work in the World: "#Prayer itself should gradually become more and more reality-oriented. To #pray is not to sit there and fantasise and daydream. To pray is to look at #Jesus who is real and to believe more and more. The greatest of all reality is the presence of #God in the world. God is the core reality from which all things derive their reality. What is not real does not belong to God."
