Forming community without possessiveness.  Going out. Claim your Truth.  You are the Beloved of God. * LIFE OF THE BELOVED  Available in print  * and Audio CD  LIFE OF THE BELOVED: Spiritual Living in a Secular World * * Beginning of this LIFE OF THE BELOVED video series HERE 2nd of the series 3rd of the series 4th is Lent 1st Sunday 5th of series

LENT WEEK 1 DAY 3: COMMUNITY LIVING AS THE BELOVED

Continuing our meditations in  Being and Becoming the Beloved  as we walk the path of Lent with Henri Nouwen
*

* 2nd part of our journey to Becoming the Beloved.
* Community.   We live in genuine community when we know we are Beloved. We may be alone but we are not lonely. In loneliness we are possessive until we hear we are the Beloved. When we are rooted in that Love there is possibility for Community.

being in our world.   A call to reclaim what we're meant to be... * LIFE OF THE BELOVED  Available in print

Nouwen, born Henri Jozef Machiel [Nouen] in Nijkerk Netherlands January 24th 1932.

Nouwen authored 40 b0oks on spiritual life.  His books are widely read today by Protestants and Catholics alike. The Wounded Healer, In the Name of Jesus, The Life of the Beloved, and The Way of the Heart are just a few of the more widely recognized titles.

After nearly two decades of teaching at the Menninger Foundation Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, and at the University of Notre Dame, Yale University and Harvard University, in 1986 he accepted the position of pastor and went to share his life with mentally handicapped people at Daybreak, the L'Arche community, founded by Jean Vanier, near Toronto, Canada.

After a long period of declining energy, which he chronicled in his final book, Sabbatical Journey, he died in September 1996 from a sudden heart attack.
