FOM Blog: Words That Create Community

http://thefom.blogspot.com/2009/07/words-that-create-community.html

Thoughts, quips, meditations and admonitions from The FoM. Tuesday, July 07, 2009. Words That Create Community. The word is always a word for others. Words need to be heard. When we give words to what we are living, these words need to be received and responded to. A speaker needs a listener. A writer needs a reader. These reflections are taken from Henri J.M. Nouwen's Bread for the Journey. Yes and i find nouwens other texts on words becoming flesh extremely relevant to my living. Words That Become Flesh.

When I fed the hungry, they called me a saint. When I asked why people are hungry, they called me a communist. Charity wins awards and applause, but joining the poor gets you killed. People do not get crucified for charity. People are crucified for living out a love that disrupts the social order, that calls forth a new world. People are not crucified for helping poor people. People are crucified for joining them. Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Virtues are funny things. They are fruit of faith and, whenever paraded, become parodies of themselves and the worst kind of vanity imaginable. When they are not the fruit of faith they become its greatest obstacle. Virtues are most vital when invisible and most sharply imaged when they are not the focus of our attentions. They are evidence of their source (and ours) and not the generators of it (or us). Links to this post. I previously posted this to theFOM blog. 8221; or “What a hypocrite! There was a ...

http://ashercastillo.blogspot.com/2008/11/empty-heart.html

Nouwen on the Poverty of Mind. Someone who is filled with ideas, concepts, opinions and convictions cannot be a good host. There is no inner space to listen, no openness to discover the gift of the other. It is not difficult to see how those "who know it all" can kill a conversation and prevent an interchange of ideas. Poverty of mind as a spiritual attitude is a growing willingness to recognize the incomprehensibility of the mystery of life. Nouwen on the Poverty of Heart. Blessed are the poor. Series o...

Thoughts, quips, meditations and admonitions from The FoM. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Jesus is called Emmanuel which means "God-with-us" (see Matthew 1: 22-23). The great paradox of Jesus' life is that he, whose words and actions are in no way influenced by human blame or praise but are completely dependent on God's will, is more "with" us than any other human being. These reflections are taken from Henri J.M. Nouwen's  Bread for the Journey. Monday, May 18, 2009. Your Horses Cannot Save You. Mexico is not ...
