“…tell everyone that I’m grateful, that I’m enormously grateful.
Make sure you tell everybody that!”
(p 346, Love, Henri)
Reading: Epilogue
Welcome to our final week of the Advent 2017 book discussion. The reading for this week is the Epilogue, but we also encourage you to also flip back through the book and re-read a few of the letters that really spoke to you.
1. Please share with us your main “take away” from this book discussion, and your plans to carry it with you into the New Year.
2. As you flip back you may notice Henri’s growing realization of the power and beauty of gratitude. Please share with us your own expression of gratitude this Advent.
As we conclude this discussion and prepare for the coming of our Lord at Christmas, we have a special gift from the Henri Nouwen Society for all those on this Advent journey. At the 2016 Way of the Heart International Conference, Gabrielle Earnshaw, editor of Love, Henri, and actor Joe Abbey-Colborne gave a stirring and memorable presentation and dramatic reading of a number of Henri’s letters. You are encouraged to take the 53 minutes to watch this wonderful video by following this link and entering LoveHenriAdvent as the password.
Thank you to each of your for your presence with us. Your comments and responses have been a source of encouragement to others. I also want to acknowledge once again all of those who journey along with us silently. We value your presence too!
We hope to see you all again for the Lent 2018 book discussion. Watch your email for the start date!
Wishing you all a Spirit-filled Christmas.
Sincerely,
Ray and Brynn
