My
Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I
cannot know for certain where it will end….Nor do I really know myself, and the
fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually
doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never
do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this, You will lead
me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore, will I
trust you always though I may seem lost in the shadow of death. I will not
fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils
alone.
Fr.
Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
