‘Then We Begin to Understand…’

‘Then, we begin to understand that we ourselves are not perfect either, and never will be! We too have our share in wrongdoing: we have wounded our parents, our children, our husband, our wife and our friends. When we realize this, we do not have to condemn ourselves but rather to learn to accept our own poverty and inner brokenness.’– Jean Vanier, Seeing Beyond Depression, p. 71
