We Need Each Other : Responding to God's Call to Live Together EPUB

"Jean Vanier is a living saint." -James Martin, SJIn April 2008, Jean Vanier led a simple retreat in Nyahururu, Kenya, a place recently shattered by violence between people, and bloodshed.

People there were shaken. With frequent reference to the Gospel of John, this book comprises the talks that Vanier gave:What Are You Looking For?The Cry of the PoorThe Feast Is ReadyTo Live in UnityBe OpenEncountering the OtherThe Washing of the Feet “We all want to be noticed and loved by those who are famous, beautiful, and admired.

To be loved by them gives us a good feeling. But to be loved by the poor, by those with disabilities, by those who have no place with the famous, the beautiful, and the admired, is the real place where unconditional love and healing will find us.

How do we come to that practically in our lives? In this book, Jean Vanier gives us both a vision and a map.
