Caring

"We can only care for otjers if we are cared for...Caring is not something sentimental; it means giving time, listening, affirming, understanding and encouring. It means also challenging and evaluating, when necessary... To care for people does not mean to flatter them; it is to help them to discover their own worth and their gifts, in order to grow in truth, and ti accept their brokenness and shadow sides."

By Jean Vanier in Letter to my brothers and sisters in L`Arche.
