There is only one true flight from the world; it is not an escape from conflict, anguish and suffering, but the flight from disunity and separation, to unity and peace in the love of other men. — Thomas Merton
This blog is dedicated to the belief that God longs for the greatest possible good in all of life's circumstances, and that our purpose is to work toward this good by sharing with one another the beauty of God's love through grace, mercy and compassion. Thanks for stopping by!
It is easy enough to tell the poor to accept their poverty as God's will when you yourself have warm clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you—try to share some of their poverty and see if you can accept it as God's will yourself! —New Seeds, Chapter 24
