A Prayer
Dear God,

As you draw me ever deeper into your heart, I discover that my companions on the journey are women and men loved by you as fully and as intimately as I am. In your compassionate heart, there is a place for all of them. No one is excluded.

Give me a share in your compassion, dear God, so that your unlimited love may become visible in the way I love my brothers and sisters.

Amen.
"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."

ROMANS 14:19 (NIV)

Claim Your Peace
I really wish you an ever deeper peace. I know that that peace quite often lives underneath the turmoils and anxieties of our heart and doesn’t always mean inner harmony or emotional tranquility. That peace that God gives us quite often is beyond our thoughts and feelings, and we have to really trust that peace is there for us to claim even in the midst of our moments of despair.
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

A Final Thank You!

Dear Friends,

On July 19th, my colleagues and I on the Henri Nouwen Society Board launched a special effort to promote the Society’s monthly giving program. As we announced at that time, we have set a rather ambitious goal of recruiting 100 new donors by the end of the month.

We certainly understand that signing up as a monthly donor is not an option for everyone. It is, however, a form of partnership that is particularly helpful to the volunteers on our small seven-member board as we begin the process of preparing our 2022 budget and planning for the year ahead.

With July 31 fast approaching, I want to thank all of you who have already taken advantage of our Henri Nouwen Society Board offer to provide a $25 match for each new monthly donor who responds to this special request for your help.  If you have not already done so, I hope you will also consider becoming a monthly donor during the final few days of our appeal.

If you are already a monthly donor, please know that your monthly gift and your commitment to our work and mission is greatly appreciated!
Again, thank you! Your support, encouragement and prayers are deeply appreciate by all of us!

With Gratitude,
Deb Deacon,
