The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with Jean Vanier's Daily Thoughts for Monday, 19 September 2016 "Nourishment for Others"
When we feel loved and appreciated for who we are, when we feel trusted and loved, we are nourished in the depths of our hearts. And to be nourished by the love of others is a call to become a nourishment for those who suffer and are alone in distress. We should not be afraid of loving people and telling them that we love them. This is the greatest nourishment of all.

JEAN VANIER'S Daily thought

My vision is that belonging should be at the heart of a fundamental discovery: that we all belong to a common humanity, the human race. We may be rooted in a specific family and culture but we come to this earth to open up to others, to serve them and receive the gifts they bring to us, as well as to all of humanity.[Jean Vanier, Becoming Human, page 36]-------
