Article from the BBC on the death of Jean Vanier

Jean Vanier was the founder of L’Arche in France. He was a holy man who devoted his life to Jesus by living among people with disabilities. He was a spiritual mentor of mine even at such a distance. Today, I hold him in my heart as he views the face of Jesus.

Check out this video of the founding of L’Arche
