MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

[Thomas Merton, “Thoughts in Solitude”]

당신을 기쁘게 하겠다는 바람이 사실 당신을 기쁘게 한다는 것을 믿습니다.

예수는 우리를 찾아왔지만, 우리는 그를 알아보지 못하고 그의 생일만을 즐거워했다.
