When I spoke to Jean Vanier recently, I felt blessed.
By chance, I was due to interview Vanier, whom many consider a living saint for his work with those with learning disabilities at the L’Arche community he founded in northern France, on the day after one of Britain’s worst tragedies.
Hours before our chat, an inferno had swept through a London tower block. Scores died as others told how they saw babies being dropped from windows in the hope that they might survive. And this fresh tragedy comes swiftly after terrorist attacks in Manchester and London.
