L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier "Community is not for Itself" for Friday, 19 December 2014

Friday, 19 December 2014

"Community is not for Itself" A community gradually discovers, as it grows, that it is not there simply for itself. It belongs to humanity. It has received a gift which must bear fruit for all people. If it closes in on itself, it will suffocate.[Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 116]
