Thought for the week Thomas Merton (1915-68), Cistercian monk of

Gethsemane Abbey, Kentucky, once wrote after a rare visit to the local town –

“I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths where neither sin

nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their being, the person

that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could see themselves as they really

are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no

more war, no more hatred, no more greed.”
