Peace to You this Advent Season!

Dear Friends,

The season of Advent helps us prepare to commemorate the arrival of peace on Earth through Jesus Christ. As Christmas approaches, our hearts are buoyed with the prospect of a world where peace reigns and good will is found among people everywhere.

Yet, the message of peace can be a difficult one on which to hang our hopes when disparity, violence and war are so normalized. 

Through his writings, Henri Nouwen reminds us that God is indeed with us, and that God’s peace finds residence in our hearts – my heart, your heart, every heart that is open to receiving God’s divine Spirit.

Not many voices bring hope and encouragement to the precarious reality of our lives as does Henri Nouwen’s. It’s why he remains an essential resource to the countless numbers of people who struggle with fear and uncertainty in their daily lives.

I would like to ask you to consider supporting our work during this Christmas season.
I also want to thank you for your past support. Your generosity has fueled our efforts to reach new and younger audiences with Henri’s life-giving spiritual perspectives. Each year we are reaching more people and we are making a bigger and more significant impact.

I realize that in the midst of the challenges and stresses we are currently facing, not everyone is in a position to give. But if you are, your one-time gift or monthly donation will go a long way to ensure that our work will continue to impact lives and transform hearts. 

For those who already support us through our monthly donor program, thank you!

May you find renewed hope and joy as God’s beloved child this Christmas. And may God’s peace be upon you and your loved ones.

Faithfully,
Karen Pascal
