Together we reveal the face of God (Henri Nouwen)

   A mosaic consists of thousands of little stones.  Some are blue, some are green, some are yellow, some are gold. When we bring our faces close to the mosaic, we can admire the beauty of each stone. But as we step back from it, we can see that all these little stones reveal to us a beautiful picture, telling a story none of these stones can tell by itself.
   This is what life in our community is about.  Each of us is like a little stone, but together we reveal the face of God to the world.  Nobody can say: I make God visible.  But others who see us together can say:  They make God visible. Community is where humility and glory touch.
--Henri Nouwen
