Quote from Thomas Merton/A Book of Hours*
Our lives - words of our Creator
What do we say then each day to others around us
Are we an echo of God's love
Or do we act out that which is unthinkable mocking the act of love
Let us, the words, speak honestly
Consciously representing only that which God would have us be
And do in his name
Amen

Reading Merton is always a grand thing to do.
ReplyDeleteYour words echo beautifully the voice of love God gives us.
I did not know this passage of Merton. Our being Godde's words...
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful reflection and prayer.
Blessings.
lovely lovely words! i was going to write you earlier today and see if you'd given up blogging :-) once again, it was worth the wait! xoxo
ReplyDeleteM - Merton's words always seem specially made for me....funny how that works for so many of us:)
ReplyDeleteC - Thanks so much for your kind words and for reading here.
L - Well, I haven't given it up although the lenten journey has been an interesting one. Many moments of wonder and comfort. New attitudes that have spawned internal musings not necessarily fit for print. Projects begun and completed, as I said, an interesting lent. I hope to participate fully in the Holy Week activities here in WW and in Dayton too.
Thank you ALL!
