The more we become people of action and responsibility in our community, the more we must become people of contemplation. If we do not nurture our deep emotional life in prayer hidden in God, if we do not spend time in silence, and if we do not know how to take time to live from the presence and gentleness of our brothers and sisters, we risk becoming embittered. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 139, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
