It is a great read. The interviewer, Maggie Ferguson, has been working with Vanier for more than 20 years.
Vanier:
My life in L'Arche has taught me that everybody is beautiful. Everybody.
So to love people is to reveal to them that they are more beautiful than they dare believe.
Is anybody beyond love? People say, 'How can we love terrorists?' But most terrorists have been deeply wounded, or humiliated, living in lands where people reject their cultures. We must pray for them.
Elsewhere:
By opening ourselves to others' pain, we are drawn into the mystery that suffering and joy are symbiotic
When you begin to let people who are 'no good' into your life, you are transformed.
