" I would like to very simply say that you and I are the beloved daughters and sons of God. And that's very hard to claim because very quickly we think that we are what we do. That we are what other people say about us. That we are what we have. But the real truth that Jesus announces is that we are like Jesus Himself, the beloved Child of God" Henri Nouwen
