“......."Blessed are they who mourn: they shall be comforted." That's the unexpected news: there is a blessing hidden in our grief. Not those who comfort are blessed, but those who mourn! Somehow in the midst of our tears, a gift is hidden. Somehow in the midst of our mourning, the first steps of a dance take place. Somehow, the cries that well up from our losses belong to our songs of gratitude.” FaithCatholicismEucharistic Life Author:Henri Nouwen
“When our losses are pure fate, our gains are pure luck! Fate does not lead to contrition, nor luck to gratitude.” FaithCatholicismEucharistic Life Author:Henri Nouwen
