L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Monday, 1 December 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]
