Something worth watching...

[Guest guest]

Dear all...

 

I just saw a powerful piece on Jean Vanier, and was deeply touched by his work:

"We become more human with two realities. One, as we discover that we are able to love

people -- and when I say love people, it means to see their value and their beauty -- and

that we can love people who have been pushed aside, humiliated, seen as having no

value...The question is not just believing in God, but believing in human people, believing

in ourselves, believing in ourselves as children of God and that we are called to see people

as God sees them, not as we would like them to be."  ~ Jean Vanier

 

Blessings,

Thank you so much for sharing this.  I immediately thought of Temba and

his visions of a home for the homeless.
