Befriending the Stranger

4.3/5 ( ratings)

In "Befriending the Stranger" Jean Vanier reflects on who we are and how we build our communities amidst all the violence and corruption of the world. In six meditative pieces based on Scripture, he opens up God's invitation to us today 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 of our societies, and as we learn to live with our own poverty and loneliness.Originally given at a retreat for people who assist those with disabilities, Vanier's reflections are for all who seek to live out God's love.
