Thomas Merton Quotes

We Overcome The Evil In The World By The Charity And Compassion Of God, And In So Doing We Drive All Evil Out Of Our Own Hearts. The Evil That Is In Us Is More Than Moral. There Is A Psychological Evil, The Distortion Caused By Selfishness And Sin. Good Moral Intentions Are Enough To Correct What Is Formally Bad In Our Moral Acts. But In Order That Our Charity May Heal The Wounds Of Sin In Our Whole Soul It Must Reach Down Into The Furthest Depths Of Our Humanity, Cleaning Out All The Infection Of Anxiety And False Guilt That Spring From Pride And Fear, Releasing The Good That Has Been Held Back By Suspicion And Prejudice And Self-conceit. Everything In Our Nature Must Find Its Right Place In The Life Of Charity, So That The Whole Man May Be Lifted Up To God, That The Entire Person May Be Sanctified And Not Only The Intentions Of His Will.
