“To be free is to know who we are, with all that is beautiful, all
the brokenness in us; it is to love our own values, to embrace them, and
develop them; it is to be anchored in a vision and a truth but also to be open
to others and, so, to change. Freedom lies in discovering that the truth is not
a set of fixed certitudes but a mystery we enter into, one step at a time. It
is a process of going deeper and deeper into an unfathomable reality.
Freedom is to be in awe of this source, of the beauty and
diversity of people, and of the universe. It is to contemplate the height and
breadth of all that is true.”
Becoming Human – Jean Vanier
