Thomas Merton - relevant especially for Lent, perhaps

[Gabrielle Dean]

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 that I have that desire in all that I am doing.

That’s about it! “ Couldn’t have put it better meself! “
