This is the second talk Jean Vanier gave at the John Main Seminar in Trosly, France in 2016. Jean Vanier spoke about the discovery of the light through the cracks in our world, the fear of the different and the human transformation experienced through the proximity with the weak.
Why do we fear those different? Through the mission of L’Arche Jean Vanier explains how people grow and discover the beauty of their being. This is done by not changing people but revealing to them, by presence, that they are beautiful because they are children of God. The biggest revolution is imitating God by remaining silent and listening, by being present.
Jean Vanier was a philosopher, writer, religious and moral leader and the founder of two major international community-based organizations, L’Arche and Faith and Light, that exist for people with intellectual disabilities.
