The L'Arche Canada Foundation from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with Jean Vanier's Daily Thoughts for Monday, 1 August 2016 "Learning to Celebrate"
We must learn to celebrate. I say learn to celebrate, because celebration is not just a spontaneous event. We have to discover what celebration is. Our world doesn't know much about celebration. We know quite a bit about parties, where we are artificially stimulated with alcohol to have fun. We know what movies and distractions are. But do we know what celebration is? Do we know how to celebrate our togetherness, our being one body? Do we really know how to use all that is human and divine to celebrate together?[Jean Vanier, From Brokeness to Community, page 45]
