Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada - L'Arche Canada Foundation Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Monday, 23 June 2014 "The Poor at the Heart of Celebration"
At the heart of celebration are the poor. If the least significant is excluded, it is no longer a celebration. We have to find dances and games in which the children, the old people and the weak can join equally. A celebration must always be a festival of the poor, and with the poor, not for the poor.(Jean Vanier, Community and Growth , page 319)
