There he led retreats, observed the resurgence of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, and connected with local communities working with handicapped adults. These trips were deeply significant to Nouwen. And yet the full meaning of his observations may only now become clear. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith extraordinary prescience, Henri identified in Ukraine certain spiritual and moral qualities struggling to assert themselves--exactly the qualities, almost thirty years later, that the Ukrainian people have mobilized in their struggle for freedom and independence. He found a people hungry for hope and healing, in need of the life-giving message he most wanted to share: that we are all \"beloved of God,\" and that God's love meets us where we are most hurt, weak, and vulnerable. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRead today, Nouwen's previously unpublished work is like a time capsule, a message from the past with special meaning for today. In an introduction by \u003cb\u003eBorys Gudziak\u003c\/b\u003e, Archbishop-Metropolitan for the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, he notes: \"This modest, seemingly simple book about a visit to a distant land is in fact a subtle tale of how encounter genuinely and radically changes the lives of people.\" In his moving afterword, Nouwen's brother \u003cb\u003eLaurent Nouwen \u003c\/b\u003edescribes how for twenty-five years after Henri's death he continued an outreach of solidarity and service to the people of Ukraine through the Henri Nouwen Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$20.00\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBIOGRAPHY \u0026amp; AUTOBIOGRAPHY \/ Religious\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Spirituality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUKRAINE DIARY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenri J.
