The L'Arche Canada of Richmond Hills, Ontario, Canada - Jean Vanier - Daily Thought - Saturday, 26 August 2017 "Avoiding Becoming Paralyzed"If children can become paralyzed by fear, and teenagers by a lack of hope and self confidence, adults are sometimes paralyzed, more or less consciously, by guilt which leads them to shut themselves off from others and prevents them from giving life and being responsible.

The L'Arche Canada of Richmond Hills, Ontario, Canada - Jean Vanier - Daily Thought - Friday, 25 August 2017 "Yearning for Solidarity"
I am sensing a yearning for solidarity, a cry coming from people for togetherness and for love. For too long we've been walking on the road to independence. We're beginning to feel our loneliness. We're beginning to see that we can only live if we're together. We have had enough of loneliness, independence and competition.
