Community Is Where Humility And Glory Touch.

Hospitality Means Primarily The Creation Of Free Space Where The Stranger Can Enter And Become A Friend Instead Of An Enemy. Hospitality Is Not To Change People, But To Offer Them Space Where Change Can Take Place. It Is Not To Bring Men And Women Over To Our Side, But To Offer Freedom Not Disturbed By Dividing Lines.

The Art Of Living Is To Enjoy What We Can See And Not Complain About What Remains In The Dark.

L'arche Is Not A Service Institution Or A Group Home. It Is A Community That Exists To Reveal God's Love. Our People Are Given To The World To Tell Others About Peace And Forgiveness And Celebration, To Make Them Aware That In The Midst Of Their Brokenness, There Is Joy; In The Midst Of Their Wounded Nature, There Is Healing.

If You Meet God In Solitude, You Discover The God You Meet Is The God Who Embraces All People.

Life Is Not A Possession To Be Defended, But A Gift To Be Shared.
