The L'Arche Canada of Toronto, Ontario, Canada Daily Thoughts with Jean Vanier for Friday, 3 February 2017 "The Beauty of Human Beings"
The beauty of human beings lies in their capacity to accept who they are, just as they are; not to live in a world of dreams and illusions, in anger or despair, wanting to be other than they are, or trying to run away from reality. They realize they have the right to be themselves. And there, they discover that they are loved by God, that they are unique and important for God and that they can do things for others.[Jean Vanier, Seeing Beyond Depression, page 87]
