People are longing to rediscover true community. We have had enough of loneliness, independence and competition.
Jean VanierAll of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs. We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves.
Jean VanierEvery human activity can be put at the service of the divine and of love. We should all exercise our gift to build community.
Jean VanierEvery child, every person needs to know that they are a source of joy; every child, every person, needs to be celebrated. Only when all of our weaknesses are accepted as part of our humanity can our negative, broken self-images be transformed.
