a quote from Jean Vanier about community


Everything will resolve itself through love.

Stop wasting time running after the perfect community.

Live your life fully in your community today.

Stop seeing the flaws – and thank God there are some!

Look rather at your own defects and know that you are forgiven

and can, in your turn, forgive others

and today enter into the conversion of love, and remember, pray always.


Jean Vanier in Community and Growth
