Tonight we remember not Matthew a first century, but a 20th century follower of Jesus, Henry Nouwen born in 1932 and died on this date in 1996: Priest, author, spiritual guide and treasure seeker.

                                            Matthew 13:44 

The 

king-dom 

of 

God 

is like 

treasure  

hidden in a field 

 

"We have been chosen 

to make our own limited 

+ very conditional love 

the gateway for the un-

limited + unconditional

love of God. "
