What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Thomas Merton, Mystic
"Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depth of their hearts, the core of their reality, If only they could see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other in this way all of the time, there would be no more war, no more cruelty, no more greed...I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other."
