Tuesday, 19 April 2016 "By Other Means"
On the whole, [my father] spoke very little in public about his faith in God. Rather it was by other means, by the warm feeling of good will he seemed to radiate, by his profound and extraordinary appreciation of others, by the serenity of his bearing perhaps—in all these ways he transmitted a sense of the presence of God to others.[Jean Vanier, of his father, The Right Honourable Georges P. Vanier (former Governor General of Canada), In Weakness, Strength page 17]

The L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier "A Half-Hour"
Wednesday, 20 April 2016 "A Half-hour"
My father, as did my mother, felt the need to dedicate at least half an hour every day to personal and silent prayer. It was a habit which both my parents followed carefully since the time of my father’s appointment as [Canadian] Ambassador in Paris in 1944.[Jean Vanier, In Weakness, Strength, page 10]
