The Road Home is Jean Vanier's reflections on what it means to be human, beyond the barriers that separate the strong and the weak, race and nationality, rich and poor. In his work with mentally handicapped men and women, he encountered a world of unspeakable suffering. However, Jean Vanier also saw in these people the extraordinary traits of those who have a special role to play in healing hearts and removing barriers that divide and destroy. Returning home is a journey to where we are safe, where weakness and pain are recognized and accepted.
