Monday, 24 April 2017 "A Shout of Love"
When people come to honor success and power or to give out prizes to winners, they do not celebrate. They clap and applaud. They are proud if the winners come from their club or group or family or country. In some way they identify with the winner and feel they are the best. But there are so many who do not win, who have no success or power. Celebration is a shout of love, and of openness, not a feeling of power or superiority.[Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 316]
