“A community is only being created when its members accept that they are not going to achieve great things, that they are not going to be heores, but simply live each day with new hope, like children in wonderment as the sune rises and in thanksgiving as it sets. Community is only being created when they have realised that the greatness in humanity lies in the acceptance of our insignificance, our human condition and our earth and to thank God for having put in our finite body the seeds of eternity which are visible in small and daily gestures of love and forgiveness. The beauty of people is in this fidelity to the wonder of each day.”

Jean Vanier (1979) Community and Growth
