With Burning Hearts
A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life
Author: Henri J. M. Nouwen Hardcover Art by Duccio di Buoninsegna New Gift Edition! Full-color illustrations throughout Among Henri Nouwen's enduring gifts was this beautiful reflection on the meaning of the Eucharist, now available in a gift edition with art by Byzantine artist Duccio di Buoninsegna. With Burning Hearts seeks a fuller understanding of the Eucharist through the story of the disciples on their way to Emmaus. Like these disciples we, too, come together in our brokenness before God, hear the Word and the profession of faith, and recognize Jesus in the breaking of the bread. From mourning to discernment, from invitation to intimacy, and from community to the charge to go forth and witness. With Burning Heartscalls us to experience all of this journey, to know that what we celebrate and what we are called to live are one and the same. Henri J. M. Nouwen, who died in 1996, was a Dutch priest and the pastor of the L'Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto, Canada. He remains one of the most popular and honored spiritual writers of our time. |
