The L'Arche Canada of Toronto, Ontario, Canada Daily Thoughts with Jean Vanier for Tuesday, 14 February 2017 "Growth in Community"
[Short inspirational passages delivered to your email box each day that will help give balance, perspective and spiritual depth to your day. Drawn largely from Vanier's best selling books, including Becoming Human, Finding Peace, Community and Growth and Made for Happiness.]
It is no easier to live in community after twenty years than it was at the start; on the contrary, in fact. People are always a little naïve when they enter community; they may have illusions and they also have the grace they need to pull them away from an individual and egotistical life. People who have been traveling in community for twenty years know that it isn't easy. They are very conscious of their own limitations and those of others. They know the full weight of their own egoism.
