Thomas Merton Quotes
I Found A Place That I Hoped Would Be Obscure, Over On One Side, In The Back, And Went To It Without Genuflecting, And Knelt Down. As I Knelt, The First Thing I Noticed Was A Young Girl, Very Pretty Too, Perhaps Fifteen Or Sixteen, Kneeling Straight Up And Praying Quite Seriously. I Was Very Much Impressed To See That Someone Who Was Young And Beautiful Could With Such Simplicity Make Prayer The Real And Serious And Principal Reason For Going To Church. She Was Clearly Kneeling That Way Because She Meant It, Not In Order To Show Off, And She Was Praying With An Absorption Which, Though Not The Deep Recollection Of A Saint, Was Serious Enough To Show That She Was Not Thinking At All About The Other People Who Were There.
