Father Henri J. M. Nouwen’s Daily Meditation – Thursday, January
2, 2014 “Our Spiritual Parents”
Joy and sorrow are never separated. When our hearts rejoice at a
spectacular view, we may miss our friends who cannot see it, and when we are
overwhelmed with grief, we may discover what true friendship is all about. Joy
is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. If we try to avoid sorrow at all costs,
we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never
reach us either. Joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.
