"Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness that have chilled his faith." —Thomas Merton

Pax,

ReplyDeleteThomas Merton didn't mince words, did he?
I'd think this would provide anyone who has a mere ounce of humility plenty of room for self-examination.
Thank you for this post.
Thanks for you comment! Merton always keeps me humble when I get cocky.
