L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Tuesday, 26 May 2015 "Providence"
The experience of Providence grows stronger with time, with the discovery that God has watched over the community in times of trial which could have destroyed it. Serious tensions have been resolved, people have arrived exactly when they were needed, there has been unexpected financial or material help, someone has found inner freedom and healing. Then the experience of God is no longer personal but communal, and this generates peace and luminous certainty. But this recognition of the action of God in community life demands a very great fidelity.[Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, psge 157]
