My Deepest Desire

My deepest desire is to be one with Christ

In this divine union God’s pure unconditional love flows through ever cell of my body like a mighty river

Shining Christ’s divine grace, mercy and love into the darkness of the world

This is the deepest of experiences

A complete death of self and rebirth in the spirit of the lord

An emptying of our heart to God so he may fill it fully with his love

This is the greatest gift God can ever give us

It is the purpose of our lives

To be one with him in the spirit of love

Beautiful Quotes From Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton was a monk who lived in the 20th century. He spent his monastic life living the gospels, studying eastern religions and doing interfaith dialogue with them. I share a deep connection with him even though I am too young to meet him in real life. ❤️🙏🏻

Perfect Humility

Only those who have been humbled by life

Will desire mercy

Those who don’t desire mercy will never receive it

We must abandon all pride and only strive for perfect humility

In this perfect humility we receive God’s grace

In this grace

God’s love lifts us up from humiliation into glory
