Friday’s Healing Moment

"In our own life, from day to day, we must love and grow in love. And each day to live for love. And each day to love a little more. This does not exclude failures and weakness and sin, but it does involve a use of the heart. I fear a land of little love and of betrayed love. ..We cannot despair, we must believe in love. And as people of God in our world, people who share all the weakness and the frailties of our own day. Persons also wounded and hurt by the loveless world that is ours. We must continually return to the sources that answer our need--to Christ and to faith in Christ. This faith is a gift, and we have only to open our arms and to receive it and to accept it."

~ a dear monk at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Thomas Merton's spiritual director, he died in 1994 at the age of 93. Rest in Peace-Fr. Father Matthew Kelty. (My Son Is Of Mercy. (Sheed & Ward, 1994).), p. 76.
