Thomas Merton

Quote Of The Day

We do not go into the desert to escape people but to learn how to find them; we do not leave them in order to have nothing more to do with them but to find out the way to do them the most good.

Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton

Quote Of The Day

Thomas Merton

Quote Of The Day

Thomas Merton

Quote Of The Day
