	Michael Downey: Jean Vanier: Recovering the Heart
		Though Vanier exalts the Aristotelian triad, his understanding of contemplation, justice, and friendship is considerably nuanced by his insight into the notion of heart and the gifts of the Spirit.
		For Vanier, contemplation is of the mystery of God revealed in the weak, and in the weakness of Jesus in his infancy, hidden life, agony, and passion.
		Vanier's examination of affective needs and the means by which they are met is based upon experience, wherein woundedness and vulnerability are strong, as is the affective dimension.

	Cover story: L’Arche founder reveals face of Christ
		Vanier and Mathieu founded Faith and Light after taking a group of severely disabled persons on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, where they were shocked at the hostile response.
		Vanier, true to his word, is not bashful about placing his hands on you while you talk, even applying a quick rub of the shoulders that can be remarkably penetrating.
		Terrifying, because standing next to Vanier is in some sense to stand in judgment, to contemplate the hollowness of one’s own life compared to his heroism, to feel an overpowering sense that you should change your ways before it’s too late.
