The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Saturday, 20 February 2016 "One Humanity"
Perhaps for the first time in the history of humanity, there is a growing sense among many that we all belong to the same humanity, a yearning for peace and unity among all human beings, living on an earth we all love and respect.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 34]

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Friday, 19 February 2016 "Nuclear Disarmament"
Never before has the cry for nuclear disarmament been so loud. But it's even more important that there be disarmament inside human communities and inside of each one of our hearts. There's no point in having big disarmament meetings between countries if inside of our communities and neighborhoods we're not disarming ourselves in the world of competition and rivalry.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 34]

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Thursday, 18 February 2016 "Solidarity"
I am sensing a yearning for solidarity, a cry coming from people for togetherness and for love. For too long we've been walking on the road to independence. We're beginning to feel our loneliness. We're beginning to see that we can only live if we're together. We're beginning to see the immense dangers of separation, of apartheid. We're seeing that if we separate ourselves, and then create barriers around our group, we'll tend to become rivals. We have had enough of loneliness, independence and competition.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 34]

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Wednesday 17 February 2016 "Being the Best"
I remember visiting a school in Canada where there was a big poster: “It Is a Crime Not To Excel.” There was another poster of one car overtaking another which said: “Are You in the Passing Lane?” Right from an early age we cultivate this feeling that it is a crime not to be the best.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 33]

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Tuesday, 16 February 2016 "Belonging and Becoming"
Belonging should always be a means to personal becoming. It is accepting the risk of dying to aggressiveness and rivalry in order to discover a new freedom and a new fecundity – a new way of giving life to others, but still to belong to others, to be in “one body” with them.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 32]
---------------------


The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Monday, 15 February 2016 "Personal Consciousness"
To accept the risk of personal consciousness and growth to inner freedom can be painful; it is never easy to follow the light inside of oneself when others do not seem to agree.[Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community, page 32]
