the wounded healer henri j m nouwen

What does it mean to be a healer in the modern world?In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Henri Nouwen offers a radically fresh interpretation of modern ministry. Here he inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community, but have found the traditional ways of ministry alienating and ineffective.According to Nouwen, we are called to identify the suffering in our own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of our service. We must be willing to go beyond our professional, aloof roles of service and leave ourselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering as those we serve. We heal from our wounds.

''We are the Beloved. We are intimately loved long before our parents, teachers, spouses, children and friends loved or wounded us. That''s the truth of our lives. That''s the truth I want you to claim for yourself. That''s the truth spoken by the voice that says, "You are my Beloved."'' - Henri Nouwen, Life of the Beloved Henri Nouwen, priest, professor and writer, devoted much of his later ministry to emphasising the singular concept of our identity as the Beloved of God. In an interview, he said that he believed the central moment in Jesus'' public ministry to be his baptism in the Jordan, when Jesus heard the affirmation, ''You are my beloved son on whom my favour rests.'' ''That is the core experience of Jesus,'' Nouwen writes. ''He is reminded in a deep, deep way of who he is ... I think his whole life is continually claiming that identity in the midst of everything.''You Are Beloved is a daily devotional created from the very best of Nouwen''s writings, paired with daily Scripture readings, that reveals our identity as children of God, and which encourages us to live out that truth in our daily lives.

Henri Nouwen už byl známý exercitátor a spisovatel duchovní literatury, když ho jeho hledající přítel Fred vyzval, aby napsal něco „nízkoprahového“ a srozumitelného jemu i jeho nevěřícím přátelům z řad publicistů, právníků, podnikatelů a umělců: br Mluv k nám o nejhlubších tužbách našich srdcí, o našich přáních, o naději; nechceme už slyšet o strategiích přežití, ale o důvěře; nemluv nám o nejnovějších metodách uspokojování našich citových potřeb, ale o lásce. Povídej nám o širším vidění věcí, než jsou naše proměnlivé perspektivy, a o hlase hlubším, než je rámus masmédií. Ano, vyprávěj nám o něčem nebo o někom větším, než jsme my sami. Prosíme, mluv k nám.…o Bohu. br Nouwen se dlouho zdráhal, na takový úkol se vůbec necítil, ale nakonec výzvu přijal. K jeho překvapení se kniha Life of the Beloved dočkala mnoha vydání a nadšeného přijetí právě u křesťanů, ačkoli oni původně cílovou skupinou nebyli. Pro mnohé z nich znamenala zásadní impulz k hlubšímu obrácení.

Katolický kněz nizozemského původu Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) zprvu působil jako pedagog mj. na Yaleově a Harvardově univerzitě, ale později zasvětil svůj život práci s duševně postiženými lidmi v arše Daybreak v kanadském Torontu. Ve svém životě a díle kladl zvláštní důraz na kontemplativní modlitbu. Bezprostřední kontakt s Bohem považoval za velmi důležitý, avšak spása skrze víru byla pro něho ještě důležitější, stejně jako soucit a solidarita s trpícími. Jezuitský duchovní a mírový aktivista John Dear sestavil sborník Nouwenových prací z let 1983-1994, zaměřených na podporu míru, pokoje, rasové, společenské a sociální spravedlnosti. Tyto eseje nereprezentují Nouwenovy vedlejší zájmy, ale nabízejí některé jeho nejvyzrálejší duchovní postřehy. *** A tak se ze světa stává svět absurdní, svět, v němž každoročně umírají tisíce lidí v důsledku hladomoru a násilí a ti, kteří tuto smrt zapříčinili, jsou přesvědčeni, že jednají v zájmu ochrany velkých duchovních hodnot a svobody. Jak Ježíš předvídal, mnozí budou páchat zločiny s vědomím, že dělají cosi ctnostného ve jménu Boha. A zatímco zaznamenáváme nárůst smrti a zkázy, stále méně lidí je schopno vysvětlit, co se vlastně děje. Svět se tak noří hlouběji a hlouběji do absurdity - doslova do "naprosté hluchoty" - a je stále neschopnější zaslechnout otázku ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In experimental lit veteran Brian Dedora’s third novel, prose fragments and narrative threads come in and out of focus as, on a winter’s night, a reveller in an upscale Toronto restaurant begins the most dangerous of things: a journey into memory. Is he a narcissist or is he among the wounded? What is it to be gay in a small desert town and in the heart of a sprawling city? The Apple in the Orchard navigates the truths and half-truths of a traveller, a loner plunging through city streets and into the woods, a Canadian wrapped in the myths of the North and tangled in the snare-traps of the urban. As this layered, undulating novel explores class tensions, a family in disintegration, and how the effects of sexual abuse wind through generations, and while cameos by voyageurs, cowboys, Black Robe, and Grey Owl flicker to life and vanish again, the tragic story of the unnamed Her emerges in verbal snapshots.

Discover the remarkable birth of modern medicine. When we imagine Renaissance medicine, the cliché is dreadful – unsterile instruments, a total lack of anaesthetics and shocking levels of infant and maternal mortality. And that’s before you get into astrology, bloodletting and a litany of bizarre ‘treatments’, more likely to kill than cure… As ever, the true picture is somewhat different. Here, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, modern medicine began to take shape. Medical education was being formalised for the first time. Through dissections and hands-on experience in war, surgeons were documenting the intricacies of the human body and distributing their work across the continent. And, as European powers expanded their reach into the New World, new medicines and treatments were being discovered and cultivated. Historian Alanna Skuse ventures into the bustling medical marketplace of Renaissance England – a world of travelling surgeons, prosthetics’ craftsmen, faith healers and, of course, snake oil salesmen. There’s the domestic healer, her kitchen stocked with all manner of herbs, tonics and elixirs, ready to dole out to ailing neighbours; the expert midwife, called upon when the physician and surgeon failed; the trusted apothecary, shop stocked with remedies for every ailment and ingredients from each ...

Seamus Heaney's version of Sophocles's Philoctetes tells of the wounded hero marooned upon an island by the Greeks during the Siege of Troy. As the conflict comes to a climax, the Greeks begin to realise they cannot win the Trojan war without Philoctetes's invincible bow, and turn back to seek his help. The Cure at Troy dramatises the conflict between personal integrity and political expediency, and explores ways in which the victims of injustice can become as devoted to the contemplation of their wounds as the perpetrators are to the justification of their system.Responsive to the Greek playwright's understanding of the relations between public and private morality, The Cure at Troy is a sharp, fast-paced retelling of the Greek original, shot through with Heaney's own Irish speech and context. History says, Don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime the longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme.

Strategies for the preservation of health and for the prevention and treatment of illness and disease have been discerned in the surviving written records and material remains of most societies since earliest times. Compared to the prehistoric past the evidence for the ancient Greek and Roman periods is comparatively full, though still sparse or lacking in some key areas. Most accounts of the history of Greek and Roman medicine are based on ancient medical texts. As a study of the subject through its material remains, this book will be a unique and major contribution to the understanding of ancient medical implements and surgical instruments, of surgery, and of the history of medicine. In addition to medical instruments, the British Museum collection also includes an important range of objects which help to illustrate the multi-faceted approach to healing in antiquity. They include one of the largest holdings of collyrium-stamps − small inscribed stone tablets which were used to mark sticks of eye medicine; Greek inscriptions honouring public physicians; stone statues, bronze figurines and engraved gemstones depicting the principal healer deities; and marble and terracotta models of body parts (‘anatomical votives’) dedicated to the healer deities by those seeking divine cures.

Through a reconsideration of the debate about the archaeology of Anglo-Saxon towns, Richard Hodges focuses on the origins and history of the four Middle-Saxon emporia – London, Ipswich, Southampton and York – and then the impact of the Viking Conquest in AD 866 on England''s subsequent history. To mark the occasion of the centennial of Henri Pirenne’s celebrated book, Medieval Cities (1925), Hodges reviews the influence of the Scandinavian urban model on Anglo-Saxon England in line with new archaeological and numismatic evidence, tracing the importance of the Viking conquerors to the formation of towns in England. The crux of this study is to explore the question of when and how English early Medieval settlements gained a distinctive urban identity. And so, the emphasis is not just on markets and role of craftsmen, but also on civil defence. Looking beyond England, this book proposes that the Danish urban model influenced the rise of towns in Flanders, setting an economic strategy that played a major part in the creation of what Pirenne described as ‘Medieval Civilization’. By asking questions about the political and economic situation of the 7th to 10th centuries, archaeology challenges key chapters in the canonical history of not just ...
