“My
Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead
of me. I cannot know where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and
the fact that I think that 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 that I have that desire in all 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
trust you always, though I may seem to be 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.” - Thomas Merton
