The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hills, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Tuesday, 15 March 2016 "Is it possible to become a body?"
We must find a way of being a body. If we don't, we develop protective situations, we develop armaments, we develop prejudice and finally we develop war. Is it possible to develop as a body, or must we be in a world of conflicts, where we seek power endlessly? If we are a body, your weakness is my strength and my weakness is your strength because I need you and you need me. Your limits are where my riches begin. My limits are where your riches begin. We need each other because I am weak in some parts and strong in others. Here weakness takes on another sense. It becomes our cement, not an evil whereby I will be crushed down. It is what links me to your strength.[Jean Vanier]
