The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Tuesday, 22 March 2016 "Entering a New Age"
We are entering in a totally new age where either we're going to move into universalism and a quest for greater love--love that needs to discover ones culture, to discover ones language, to be proud of culture, to love ones culture but to be open to other people’s culture, and this has to do with welcoming difference.[Jean Vanier

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Monday, 21 March 2016 "Destroying Cultures"
Is culture a dangerous thing? There is a whole global movement of destroying culture. Because the big problem today is, for some people, Christianity and Islam. Or it’s Buddhism and something else. So we have to breakdown culture for a new humanity to rise up. The theory sounds great. But it is not as easy as that. If I don't belong, well who am I?[Jean Vanier

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Friday, 18 March 2016 "Carl Jung"
Carl Jung in one of his letters says this: I find you Christians a very good people. When you see somebody in prison, you see Jesus. When you see somebody hungry, you give him food and see Jesus. When you see someone naked, you see Jesus. But what I don't understand is why you don't see Jesus in your own poverty. Why is it that you see him in the poor that are outside of you but you don't in the poor one that is inside of you?[Jean Vanier]

"#AsIAm – Take Care of You (Episode 4)" L'Arche International of Paris, France, Europe for Friday, 18 March 2016
Episode 4 – Take Care of You
What is meant by the word disability? For Raffaella Monterosso, from L’Arche Italy, it means when your father grows old and there’s nothing you can do but love him.
On March 21st, L'Arche celebrates World Down Syndrome Day. We honour all those with Down Syndrome who, like Raffaella, are taking care of their aging parents.
Imagine the world differently.

http://www.larche.orgThe L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Sunday, 20 March 2016 "The History of Humanity"
The history of humanity is one group breaking off from another group creating their rituals, creating their language and so on--and then wars. Very quickly, my culture’s better than your culture, my way of doing things is better than your way of doing things. Now, let's rethink a new vision for our world based on every human being as important--and that means we have to change.[Jean Vanier

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Saturday, 19 March 2016 "Wounds and Covenant"
I see my wounds in the wounded person with a handicap. That is also my fragility. Often we are in a covenant because of our wounds. We are linked through them and there is a real fraternity between us because we are no longer on a pedestal.[Jean Vanier]
The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Thursday, 17 March 2016 "Letting Go of the Mask"
Disabled persons can reveal to me my tenderness. But they can also reveal to me my hardness. They can reveal to me a world of darkness in me and a capacity to hurt that I don't want to admit and which I don't want to accept. But the discovery of my wounds, of my own brokenness, is a source of peace if I accept it because then I do not have to pretend that I am what I am not. I do not need a mask.[Jean Vanier]
The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought for Wednesday, 16 March 2016 "Power and Masks"
When people have power, they put on masks. When they put on masks, they hide their center from others and from themselves. They hide their source from themselves and from others. They hide their cry from others because somewhere they are inserted in society and they have their place and they are recognized in their power. So they wear a mask because they have a position to defend. Often their function is their mask. But when you are dying, you have no mask. It is a pity that we have to wait until our last breath to accept who we are![Jean Vanier]
