Finding Peace by Jean Vanier
One of our deepest human desires and needs is to live in peace. We all yearn for peace, but what is it exactly? How do we find it, and how can we bring peace to our lives and our communities?Jean Vanier reflects on recent world events, identifying the sources of conflict and fear within and among individuals, communities, and nations that thwart us in our quest for peace. Peace is not just the work of governments or armies or diplomats, he argues, but the task of each one of us. We can all become makers of peace. We can do our part. And though it's easy to be a love of peace and much more difficult to be a worker for peace, Vanier shows us that ordinary people, unknown and unrecognized, are transforming our world little by little, finding peace in our neighbourhoods and lighting the way to change.Jean Vanier is the founder of L'Arche, an international network of communities for persons with developmental impairments. He is the son of former governor general Georges Vanier. Being Human (the 1999 CBC Massey Lectures), Discovering Peace, Created for Happiness, Encountering the Other, and Befriending the Stranger are just a few of his publications. Jean resides in the French town of Trosly-Breuil.
