"But give me the strenght that waits upon You in slience and peace. Give me humility in which alone is rest, and eliver me from pride which is the heaviest of burdens. And possess my whole heart and sould with the simplicity of love. Occupy my whole life with the one thought and the one desire of love, that I may not love for the sake of merit, not for the sake of perfection, not for the sake of virtue, not for the sake of sanctity, but for You alone.
For there is only one thing that can satisfy love and reward it, and that is You alone."
Thomas Merton
