The human heart is exquisitely fragile. Our judgments need to be gentle, our understanding deep, and our forgiveness wide.
~Ron Rolheiser
Shalem is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and we depend on charitable contributions to sustain our ministry. Individual gifts comprise about one-third of our needed income, and each gift, no matter the size, is vital to us. With your help, Shalem will continue to provide essential resources for contemplative living and leadership.
Our mission is to nurture contemplative living and leadership.
Grounded in our understanding of God’s desire for peace, wholeness and well-being, we envision a world transformed by contemplative living and leadership in which all people honor one another and creation, recognize their unity and interconnectedness, and courageously seek to live out of this reality.
I love this challenging instruction about the human heart and would love to be the person who can be so understanding and forgiving.
