Scope and content

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given by Jean Vanier at a Covenant Retreat in April 1987.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I like to spend time in the tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem. It’s very small with only three people at a time. What was always important for me in the tomb is that it is a place of waiting. We are called to wait a lot. Mary, the mother of Jesus, could teach us something about holding on to a person in pain and being in communion with someone in pain who is dying. She could teach us something about the whole mystery of waiting those three days, a reality and a symbol. It’s waiting for the resurrection, for life to come. In L’Arche, we face many situations where there is no immediate answer.
