“If the deepest ground of my being is love,
then in that very love and nowhere else will I find myself,
the world and my brother and sister in Christ.
It is not a question of either-or but of all-in-one.
It is not a matter of exclusivity and “purity”
but of wholeness, wholeheartedness, unity, …
which finds the same ground of love in everything.”
Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
May the greatest blessings of this day be known to all who reach for them.
They are ours for the taking.
