The Holy Father gives thanks to God for the beautiful witness of Faith and Light. His Holiness prays that the joy you bring to one another through the friendship that you share may shine brightly for all to see.
For the Holy Father Pope Francis, Angelo Becciu, Substitute
A tale of rare human and spiritual density. It is proper to thank these two disciples, Marie-Hlne and Jean, for having written this sort of gospel where we see how much providence watches over those who surrender themselves totally.
Jean-Marie Gunois, Le Figaro
I just finished this superb book, Never Again Alone, which retraces the adventure of Faith and Light. Providence has inspired Marie-Hlne Mathieu and Jean Vanier through all these years and the fruits exceed all expectation.
