Industry Religion
Occupation Benedictine Monk
Location Elkhorn, Nebraska
Introduction Ever since I wrote an article entitled, Fearing Failure, I have had lots of people tell me that it was very helpful for them or that they could identify with it. As a result of that feedback, all of this has caused me to do much thinking. I am reminded of a phrase that I recall from Henri Nouwen – β€œthe more personal – the more universal.” I am presenting a series of articles related to vocational discernment, personal stories from members of the Mount Michael Community, and generally vocation-related topics. I hope some of this material is helpful and if nothing else interesting.
