Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Wednesday
8 January 2014 “Accepting People”
The belief in the inner beauty
of each and every human being is at the heart of L'Arche, at the heart of all
true education and at the heart of being human. As soon as we start selecting
and judging people instead of welcoming them as they are - with their sometimes
hidden beauty, as well as their more frequently visible weaknesses - we are
reducing life, not fostering it. When we reveal to people our belief in them,
their hidden beauty rises to the surface where it may be more clearly seen by
all. (Jean Vanier, Becoming Human, page 23)
