Dear Friends,
One of the joys of being a member of the Henri Nouwen Society Board is the opportunity to hear from our staff some of the many stories of how Henri's words touch the lives of people around the world. Often these stories come in the form of a note from a person who was comforted by a recent Daily Meditation, or a call from a mom who is juggling a job, young children and aging parents, and who finds peace and solitude in a few sentences from one of Henri's books.
At the heart of these stories are things we all share-feelings of isolation, vulnerability and the very human need to experience God's presence in our lives. For me as a board member, such notes are a grateful reminder that our work matters and is valued by those who have been touched by Henri's life and words.
As chair of the Board, I am very much aware of the important role gifts received between now and December 31 play in our planning for next year. With this in mind, it is my hope that you will join others in considering a financial investment in the work of the Henri Nouwen Society at whatever level feels comfortable for you. Thank you so much for your support!
Blessings to you and your loved ones as we celebrate this season of Christ's birth.
Sean Mulrooney Chair Henri Nouwen Society Board |
