Thursday, 5 May 2016 "The Power of Love"
I am touched by the stories of young men and women who have been in L'Arche for three or four years living in a house with [people with intellectual disabilities]. So many affirm that they have been transformed by the people they live with, by their simplicity, their trust....In spite of the difficulties, I can truly bear witness to the power of love that attracts many assistants and anchors them in L'Arche.... There is something that reveals to them the fundamental beauty of their humanity.[Jean Vanier, Letter to My Brothers and Sisters in L'Arche, (1996) Introduction page 13]
