Thomas Merton Quotes

What A Revelation It Was, To Discover So Many Ordinary People In A Place Together, More Conscious Of God Than Of One Another: Not There To Show Off Their Hats Or Their Clothes, But To Pray, Or At Least To Fulfill A Religious Obligation, Not A Human One. For Even Those Who Might Have Been There For No Better Motive Than That They Were Obliged To Be, Were At Least Free From Any Of The Self-conscious And Human Constraint Which Is Never Absent From A Protestant Church Where People Are Definitely Gathered Together As People, As Neighbors, And Always Have At Least Half An Eye For One Another, If Not All Of Both Eyes.
