Quote of the Day (Henri Nouwen, on Spiritual Reading)

“As we read spiritually about spiritual things, we open our hearts to God’s voice. Sometimes we must be willing to put down the book we are reading and just listen to what God is saying to us through its words.”— Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith (2006)
