Description
In Befriending the Stranger, Jean Vanier reflects on who we are and how we build our communities amid the violence and corruption of the modern world.Through six meditative pieces based on Scripture, Vanier opens up God's invitation to us to create new places of belonging and sharing, of peace and kindness, where each person is loved and accepted. The renewal of the church and the unity of Jesus' followers will come, writes Vanier, as we serve and befriend the poor and unwanted in our societies, and as we learn to live with our own poverty and loneliness. Originally given as talks at a retreat in Latin America for people immersed in assisting the disabled, Vanier's reflections will be welcome words for all who seek to live out God's love.
