Thomas Merton in Thoughts in Solitude inspired me to quote him today as we all need to be rooted and grounded in Love. This is an excerpt from the Reflection for this day in "Give Us This Day", a daily prayer book containing not only prayers and the Mass for the day, but morning and evening Office, some reflections and short biographies. You can subscribe to this monthly publication at Liturgical Press.

Here is a bit of today's reflection:
"If we know how great is the love of Jesus for us we will never be afraid to go to Him in all our poverty, all our weakness, all our spiritual wretchedness and infirmity. Indeed, when we understand the true nature of His love for us, we will prefer to come to Him poor and helpless. We will never be ashamed of our distress. Distress is to our advantage when we have nothing to seek by mercy..."
