"For many years I had read, reflected on, and taught the gospel words in Luke 3 in the story of Jesus's baptism, but only in my later years have they taken on a meaning far beyond the boundaries of my own religious tradition.
God's words "You are my Beloved" reveal the most intimate truth about all human beings, whether they belong to any particular tradition or not. The ultimate spiritual temptation is to doubt this fundamental truth about ourselves and trust in alternative identifies."
--Henri Nouwen
Why let what others say about you
---good or ill---
determine who you are?
