Nouwen Meditation: Live Without Division Between Word and Action

As we continue to commemorate and celebrate the life of Henri Nouwen throughout 2021, we are pleased to announce an online book discussion beginning on Wednesday, September 1st. Join us as we read and discuss Nouwen’s Beyond the Mirror: Reflections on Death and Life.

DAILY MEDITATION | AUGUST 27, 2021
Live Without Division Between Word and Action
In Jesus, no division existed between his words and his actions, between what he said and what he did. Jesus’ words were his action, his words were events. They not only spoke about changes, cures, new life, but they actually created them. In this sense, Jesus is truly the Word made flesh; in that Word all is created and by that Word all is re-created.

Saintliness means living without division between word and action. If I would truly live in my own life the word I am speaking, my spoken words would become actions, and miracles would happen whenever I open my mouth.
“May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight...”

PSALM 19:14 (NIV)
