Welcome, Faithful Presence: A Week of Praying the Hours with Henri Nouwen

Found in these pages is a seven day reflective journey/retreat in a discipline of solitude and intentional prayer; it is intended to serve as a map of hopeful openness to receive the wisdom of God’s Word in the praying of Psalms and canticles, meditating on God’s Word, all with the wisdom of Henri’s Nouwen's most generous heart. David Haas, one of the preeminent composers of liturgical music, now invites you to take part in this rhythmic prayer pattern, to take intentional times throughout the day to be still and let this God come alive in you. Join Henri Nouwen by seeing through his eyes and heart, in coming to discover over and over again, how God is “well pleased” in us all. May we never cease in welcoming in our hearts, 'God’s faithful presence'.
