QUOTES FROM FATHER HENRI NOUWEN?S The Vulnerable Journey

?The great mystery of our faith is that we get closest to God when we are willing to be vulnerable, when we are willing to say, ?I need somebody else?.?
Father Henri Nouwen?
The Vulnerable Journey ?

I suddenly realized that it was not in strength and power that God was coming to me, but in weakness.??
Father Henri Nouwen?
The Vulnerable Journey

?One of the great gifts of people with visible disabilities is that they help those of us with invisible disabilities to get in touch with them.??
Father Henri Nouwen?
The Vulnerable Journey

?You have to rediscover that the church is a fellowship of the weak, that the church is a place where God shows his unconditional love through poverty, the poverty of Jesus and the poverty of the followers of Jesus, and that the most poor and the most weak belong right in the center, right in the heart.??
