Nouwen Meditation: Nothing Human is Alien

A Living Gospel - Week 4 "HENRI NOUWEN: WOUNDED HEALER" Cultivating hope, in the midst of struggle, as ones Beloved of God. Our host, Robert Ellsberg, invites us to embrace our suffering and brokenness as a pathway to love as we consider Henri Nouwen’s vulnerable spirituality. WATCH NOW DAILY MEDITATION | AUGUST 11, 2023 Nothing Human is Alien Through compassion it is possible to recognize that the craving for love that people feel resides also in our own hearts, that the cruelty that the world knows all too well is also rooted in our own impulses. Through compassion we also sense our hope for forgiveness in our friends’ eyes and our hatred in their bitter mouths. When they kill, we know that we could have done it; when they give life, we know that we can do the same. For a compassionate man nothing human is alien; no joy and no sorrow, no way of living and no way of dying. ‌ ‌ "Mercy triumphs over judgment!"
