"Have courage," we often say to one another. Courage is a spiritual virtue. The word courage comes from the Latin word cor,
which means "heart. A courageous act is an act coming from the heart. A
courageous word is a word arising from the heart. The heart, however,
is not just the place where our emotions are located. The heart is the
centre of our being, the centre of all thoughts, feelings, passions,
and decisions.
When the flesh - the lived human experience
- becomes word, community can develop. When we say, "Let me tell you
what we saw. Come and listen to what we did. Sit down and let me
explain to you what happened to us. Wait until you hear whom we met,"
we call people together and make our lives into lives for others. The
word brings us together and calls us into community. When the flesh
becomes word, our bodies become part of a body of people. - Henri Nouwen
