Jean Vanier, "The Journey Inward, the Journey Outward. Who is My Enemy?" - July 9, 1992

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 25 - August 20, 1992, in England.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: The inward and outward journeys are fundamentally the same. We have to do both. To meet poverty outside of one self and to refuse to see our inner poverty is not possible. It's a question of walking into our own pain and into the pain outside. It's important that we do this somehow together. As we begin to see the pain on the outside we begin to see our helplessness, our frustration, our angers and fears--our inner pain. Do we deny our inner pain and then the outer too? Or as we accept the inner pain, do we begin to understand the outer pain?

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Covenant Retreat in June 1989.

We can get very caught up in the works of God. It�s important to thirst for God. The heart of Christ is thirsting for communion. He is obviously deeply moved by this woman who washes his feet and is yearning to meet his heart.
