L'Arche Foundation's Daily Thought - Monday, 24 February 2014"The Gift"
Contact with people who are weak and are crying out for communion, is one of the most important nourishments in our lives. When we let ourselves be really touched by the gift of their presence, they leave something precious in our heart. If we remain at the level of 'doing' something for people, we can stay behind our barriers of superiority. We have to welcome the gift of the poor with open hands.--Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 186
