Thought for the Day


I love this quote by Thomas Merton:

"Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God's eyes. If only they could see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time, there would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed...I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other."

Such faith in this: "the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach"

"we would fall down and worship each other." If only.
