An Invitation To Support Our Spring Campaign

Dear Friends,

I have been thinking a lot lately about fear. Given the times in which we live, I suspect many of you have as well. Too often, fear manipulates and controls. It infiltrates our beings and influences how we think, how we act, how we live.

Thankfully, Henri Nouwen reminds us that when we listen attentively to the voice calling us the Beloved, it becomes possible to live all of our fear and brokenness as an opportunity to share in the suffering of others, responding not with defensiveness, but with compassion, with peace, with our full selves.

I would call that radical, transformational living, wouldn’t you? This is what your financial gift helps us do. Thank you! 
Because of your support, the Henri Nouwen Society is able to offer Henri’s life-changing wisdom and insights to so many afflicted with fear, loneliness and uncertainty. For many whose normal routines and relationships have been upended by what has been going on in the world, our podcasts, webinars, social media outreaches, and our Daily Meditations have become their spiritual lifeline.

"It’s never enough to offer a prayer if we’re not willing to help be the answer to that prayer, 
to be that person’s experience of God in the world." 
-Henri Nouwen, Jesus: A Gospel

We couldn’t do this crucial ministry without your support. Again, thank you. And thank you, too, to all of our monthly donors. We are deeply grateful to you for your sustained commitment and partnership.

I recognize that not everyone is in a position to contribute financially. But if you are, please consider partnering with us in our work and ministry by making a one-time gift or by joining our monthly donor program.

With my deepest gratitude,
Karen Pascal,
Executive Director | Henri Nouwen Society
