The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with Jean Vanier's Daily Thoughts for Thursday, 4 August 2016 "Acceptance at the Heart of Communion"
If we deny our weakness and the reality of death, if we want to be powerful and strong always, we deny a part of who we are, this mixture of strength and weakness. To be human is to accept and love others just as they are, weaknesses and strengths, because we need each other. Weakness, recognized, accepted, and offered, is at the heart of belonging, so it is at the heart of communion with another.[Jean Vanier, Becoming Human, page 40]
