The Cry for Love

Jean Vanier shares his profound realization that the deepest desire for all of us is to be appreciated, loved, and seen as someone of value. He recounts his transformative encounter with men in an asylum, who cried out for love and connection, contrasting it with the cry of God asking, "Do you love me?" This chapter explores the immense pain experienced by people with disabilities and the urgent need for genuine relationships based on love and bonding.
