Henri Nouwen – more wisdom
Care, the Source of All Cure Care is something other than cure. Cure means “change.” A doctor, a lawyer, a minister, a social worker-they all want to use their professional skills to bring about changes in people’s lives.

LIVING A WHOLE LIFE (Richard Rohr)
GOD-AWARENESS We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness. Little do we realize that God is maintaining us in existence with every breath we take. As you take another breath (right now!) it means that God is choosing your existence now, and now, [...]

LEARNING TO SEE (Richard Rohr)
You already know. The Spirit is with you, and the Spirit is in you. ~ John 14:17 Jesus seemed to caution his contemporaries to humility and patience before the subtle mystery of who He was: “You do not know where I came from and where I am going” (John 8:14). He seemed to know that this [...]
Celtic Spirituality
There has been a renaissance of interest in Celtic spirituality in the last few decades. Although most-things-Celtish are associated with Ireland, the Celts lived at various times throughout most of Western Europe. In fact, Paul’s letter to the Galatians was probably written to a Celtic group living in Asia Minor. The most famous Celtic evangelist [...]
