Pentecost Blessings

"Very often, we tend to look for 'great' moments or beautiful or ecstatic celebrations. We forget that the best nourishment of community life, the one which renews us and opens our hearts, is in all the small gestures of fidelity, tenderness, humility, forgiveness, sensitivity, and welcome which makes up everyday life. It is these which are at the heart of community and can bring us to a realization of love. It is these which touch hearts and reveal gifts." 

Jean Vanier, Community and Growth
