Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Friday
3 January 2014 “Learning to Celebrate”
We must learn to celebrate. I
say learn to celebrate, because celebration is not just a spontaneous event. We
have to discover what celebration is. Our world doesn't know much about
celebration. We know quite a bit about parties, where we are artificially
stimulated with alcohol to have fun. We know what movies and distractions are.
But do we know what celebration is? Do we know how to celebrate our
togetherness, our being one body? Do we really know how to use all that is
human and divine to celebrate together?(Jean Vanier, From Brokeness to
Community, page 45)
