On the 5th Sunday of Lent, Dr. Paul Thiessen (MD, FRCPC) spoke about the "least of these" whom Jesus referred to in Matthew 25:40. As a pediatrician, Paul shared his experiences of being blessed while treating children with special needs. Jean Vanier started the L'Arche movement in Trosly-Breuil, France, inspiring communities around the world in which people with disabilities share their unique gifts with their assistants (care-givers). As Henri Nouwen wrote, "Community is a fellowship of people who do not hide their joys and sorrows, but make them visible to each other in a gesture of hope." [KH]
