[3646.58 --> 3648.16] I trust that we are praying, |
[3648.32 --> 3649.64] but how are you praying? |
[3649.74 --> 3650.52] In your prayers, |
[3650.52 --> 3652.28] is it just rattling off |
[3652.28 --> 3653.14] requests to God |
[3653.14 --> 3654.02] talking at him? |
[3654.28 --> 3655.28] Or is there space |
[3655.28 --> 3656.04] for you to listen |
[3656.04 --> 3657.56] to what Henry Nouwen says, |
[3657.94 --> 3659.38] that inner voice of love? |
[3659.72 --> 3660.54] Is there space for you |
[3660.54 --> 3661.70] to hear the Father's |
[3661.70 --> 3663.40] affirmation over you? |
[3663.48 --> 3664.50] Can you imagine prayer |
[3664.50 --> 3665.16] as a space, |
[3665.68 --> 3666.54] as John did, |
[3666.58 --> 3668.00] to lean his head |
[3668.00 --> 3669.20] on Christ's chest |
[3669.20 --> 3670.40] or to sit in the lap |
[3670.40 --> 3671.08] of the Father? |
[3672.20 --> 3673.20] St. Augustine says |
[3673.20 --> 3673.96] that God loves |
[3673.96 --> 3674.96] each one of us |
[3674.96 --> 3675.66] as if they were |
[3675.66 --> 3676.68] only one of us. |
[3679.32 --> 3680.08] Henry Nouwen, |
[3680.08 --> 3680.90] in the name of Jesus, |
[3681.12 --> 3682.68] kind of speaking to leaders, |
[3683.50 --> 3684.74] but I think also |
[3684.74 --> 3685.58] any Christian |
[3685.58 --> 3687.30] is kind of able |
[3687.30 --> 3688.30] to hear this challenge. |
[3688.44 --> 3688.78] He says, |
[3689.14 --> 3689.94] it's not enough |
[3689.94 --> 3691.34] for priests and ministers, |
[3691.58 --> 3692.78] let's say Christians as well, |
[3693.12 --> 3694.82] to just be moral people, |
[3695.04 --> 3695.68] well trained, |
[3695.84 --> 3696.98] eager to help |
[3696.98 --> 3697.88] their fellow humans |
[3697.88 --> 3699.68] and able to respond creatively |
[3699.68 --> 3700.58] to the burning issues |
[3700.58 --> 3701.16] of their day. |
[3701.64 --> 3702.22] There are many people |
[3702.22 --> 3702.86] already out there |
[3702.86 --> 3703.40] like that. |
[3704.08 --> 3705.64] The central question is, |
[3705.92 --> 3706.62] are the leaders |
[3706.62 --> 3707.46] of the future |
[3707.46 --> 3708.74] truly men |
[3708.74 --> 3709.50] and women |
[3709.50 --> 3710.32] of God? |
[3710.88 --> 3712.60] People with an ardent desire, |
[3713.10 --> 3713.84] a burning desire |
[3713.84 --> 3714.50] to dwell |
[3714.50 --> 3715.54] in God's presence, |
[3715.80 --> 3717.40] to listen to God's voice, |
[3717.60 --> 3719.36] to look at God's beauty, |
[3719.76 --> 3720.70] to touch God's |
[3720.70 --> 3721.42] incarnate word |
[3721.42 --> 3722.80] and taste fully |
[3722.80 --> 3724.48] God's infinite goodness. |
[3725.56 --> 3725.94] The reality |
[3725.94 --> 3726.98] is that this is |
[3726.98 --> 3728.46] the primary vocation |
[3728.46 --> 3728.94] and calling |
[3728.94 --> 3729.86] behind any |
[3729.86 --> 3730.68] and all of our |
[3730.68 --> 3731.64] vocations |
[3731.64 --> 3732.70] and callings. |
[3732.70 --> 3733.96] God is meant |
[3733.96 --> 3734.36] for us |
[3734.36 --> 3735.06] to experience |
[3735.06 --> 3735.82] and walk |
[3735.82 --> 3737.04] in his love |
[3737.04 --> 3737.58] for us. |
[3738.02 --> 3739.30] His love |
[3739.30 --> 3739.94] that should blow |
[3739.94 --> 3740.78] our minds |
[3740.78 --> 3741.72] and deeply |
[3741.72 --> 3742.86] touch our hearts. |
[3744.16 --> 3744.62] And I think about |
[3744.62 --> 3745.16] kind of back |
[3745.16 --> 3745.74] to Jesus, |
[3746.30 --> 3747.56] Jesus really models |
[3747.56 --> 3749.00] this in his lifestyle. |
[3749.30 --> 3749.42] I mean, |
[3749.46 --> 3749.88] think about |
[3749.88 --> 3750.72] the moment |
[3750.72 --> 3751.58] where he's receiving |
[3751.58 --> 3753.02] baptism at the Jordan. |
[3753.94 --> 3754.16] Right? |
[3754.22 --> 3755.20] It's this amazing |
[3755.20 --> 3755.96] moment, |
[3756.44 --> 3756.82] but the reality |
[3756.82 --> 3757.40] is that Christ |
[3757.40 --> 3757.92] is not doing |
[3757.92 --> 3759.24] anything spectacular |
[3759.24 --> 3760.14] in this moment. |
[3760.84 --> 3761.24] The reality |
