Jean Vanier

[aspen]

Jean Vanier, who taught the world about love in a new way, has died at 90. The founder of L'Arche was, and is, a saint.

His final message: "God is good and whatever happens it will be the best. I am happy and give thanks for everything. My deepest love to each one of you."

May he rest in peace.

I'll look into this. I love all viewpoints. Yes, even some Calvinists! I won't throw the baby out with the bathwater I have not read a whole lot of the Catholic writings other that what I was introduced to as a child and pre teen. I am familiar with , Piper, Stott, Pink, C.S., Spurgeon, and newer authors as well...but we will not get into that, lol. C.S. is my favorite of all the 20th century authors. We can accept or reject as, God has given me the free will to do just that, or not...
