“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people
in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility,
we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them
find self-confidence and inner healing.”

― Jean Vanier,
founder of the L'Arche communities
TOMORROW (Sept 10) is his birthday.
