Weakness... Jean Vanier

"Weakness carries within it a secret power. The cry and trust 

that flow from weakness can open up hearts. The one who is 

weaker can call forth the powers of love in the one who is 

stronger. Do those who are stronger respond with love 

because of an unconscious way they identify with the one 

who is weak? Do they, in some way know that one day they 

too will be weak and will cry out for help, recognition and 

love?" Jean Vanier, Becoming Human
