The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought by Jean Vanier for Wednesday, 6 January 2016 "We need to rediscover celebration"
Sometimes when I got to visit people, they keep the television on during the meal. They may turn down the sound, but all through the meal there is the intrusion of the television images. It makes it difficult to meet and to share together. There is little sense of being called together by God to love and nourish each other. We need to rediscover celebration. That is what community is all about. ... Celebration is to share what and who we really are; it is to express our love for one another, our hopes, and to rejoice in being called together as parts of the same body.[Jean Vanier, From Brokeness to Community, page 46]
