Nouwen Meditation: Be Free

Now & Then Podcast


In 1995, Brian Stiller hosted the weekly television series Cross Currents, and recorded an exclusive interview with Henri Nouwen at his L’Arche Daybreak home. The uncut conversation in video form has never been made available  until now! We are thrilled to feature part one of this intimate and inspiring interview as our Christmas gift to you!

Be Free

The great spiritual task facing me is to so fully trust that I belong to God that I can be free in the world—free to speak even when my words are not received; free to act when my actions are criticized, ridiculed, or considered useless; free also to receive love from people and to be grateful for all the signs of God’s presence in the world. I am convinced that I will truly be able to love the world when I fully believe that I am loved far beyond its boundaries.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.


PSALM 28:7 (NIV)
