Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Sunday,
12 January 2014 “Insecurity”
A French civil servant said to
me, "What you are doing is certainly very fine and I'm sure it is the
ideal situation for handicapped people, but it depends completely on the
motivation of the assistants. Does the government have a right to invest in a
place which could disappear completely the day it can't find assistants who
want to live that way? What guarantees can you give me?" Of course, I had
none. But insecurity is one of the only guarantees that a community will go on
deepening and progressing and remain faithful. (Jean Vanier, Community and
Growth, page 149)
