I Met Jesus, and He Said He Loved Me

In this text, Jean Vanier brings together the story of God's love with tenderness and essential, powerful words. He is accompanied and sustained by simple, harmonious drawings created with great concreteness by an anonymous Little Sister of Jesus. These drawings and phrases offer profound reflections on Scripture, on the eternal love that binds us to God the Father through his Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit—reflections that can be deeply useful for inclusive gatherings of catechesis or prayer in community. The love here has fully seized the author. Jean Vanier, a man in love with Jesus and in love with all humanity, could not escape the necessity of proclaiming the Good News wherever possible, to young and old alike, whether or not they faced hardship. The book is no longer in print, unfortunately, but it can still be found without too much trouble among online used-book sellers.
