"You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope."

Thomas Merton OCSO  from New Seeds of Contemplation

  2. Today is the anniversary of The Heavenly Birthday of Thomas Merton — On December 10, 1968, Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and spiritual writer, died in Bangkok, Thailand. He had written: "The grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference." Let's remembering the gift of his life by lighting candles together here http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng&gi=MERTN&p=Remembering+the+gift+of+the+life+of+Thomas+Merton+on+December+10%2C+2012
