Thomas Merton Quote

 Images Merton About

Several folks have asked me to share with them the quote I used on Sunday from Thomas Merton. Gladly.

"If we have no real interest in praising God, it shows that we have never realized who he is. For when one becomes conscious of who God really is, and when one realizes that the one who is almighty, and infinitely holy, has “done great things to us,” the only possible reaction is the cry of half-articulate exultation that bursts from the depths of our being in amazement at the tremendous and inexplicable goodness of God to men."
