Failure, frustration and loss: the common person's path to holiness

“Love,” as Jean Vanier, once wrote, “is to reveal the beauty of another person to themselves.” How do we become love? How does our legacy in this life become a legacy of love?

He is the author of Contemplative Youth Ministry: Practicing the Presence of Jesus and Growing Souls � Experiments in Contemplative Youth Ministry. He is currently finishing a book for declining congregations entitled Letter to a Dying Church. Mark is married with three children.
