Bread For The Journey

‘Writing this yearbook became a true spiritual adventure for me. It felt like going on a journey without knowing how long it would be, how far away it would lead me, or where l would finally end up. I hope that you who read it will discover many connections between your journey and my own and find new encouragement to live your life with trust, with hope, and especially with an always deeper love ’.

Henri J. M. Nouwen’s Bread for the Journey is a book with short spiritual reflections for each day of the year. In a succinct and penetrating way Henri Nouwen speaks not only about the main themes of life, such as love and Work, solitude and community, but also about the main themes of faith, such as Jesus and the sacraments, the Church and the Communion of Saints, prayer and service. In a personal and engaging way Henri Nouwen invites us to journey with him and encourages us to develop a life- giving spirituality for ourselves.
