July 17th,

In memory of
Fr Bill Hanly, SCA:
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”
