Finding Solitude in the Soul

Friday is for Heart Songs

“It is necessary that we ‘fashion our own desert where we can withdraw every day, shake off our compulsions, and dwell in the gentle healing presence of our Lord. Without such a desert we will lose our own soul while preaching the gospel to others. But, with such a spiritual abode, we will become increasingly conformed to him in whose Name we minister.’”

(Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Way of the Heart, 17.)
