For our good friend and parishioner Andres.
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 I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and 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 ■
Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude.
