The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Saturday, 7 November 2015 "Communion"
Communion is at the heart of the mystery of our humanity. It means accepting the presence of another inside oneself, as well as accepting the reciprocal call to enter into another. Communion, which implies the security and insecurity of trust, is a constant struggle against all the powers of fear and selfishness in us, as well as the seemingly resilient human need to control another person.[Jean Vanier, Becoming Human, pages 28-29]
