Today’s Reflection: I find myself re-visiting Merton every so often — My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. 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. — Excerpt from a prayer by Thomas Merton
