As we grow we leave behind us many things. If we spend time weeping over the past we become imprisoned in that past. We must certainly grieve what we have lost, but we must live freely the new realities of the present and we must wait in hope for new life. And so each one of us will make the final passage of death, waiting for that new gift which we shall welcome; the embrace of the eternal. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 136, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
