I was praying this evening, and was reminded of this fragment
of a poem-prayer by Thomas Merton, which I thought I would share with you
today.
“Have you had sight of Me, Jonas My child?
Mercy within mercy within mercy.
I have forgiven the universe without end because I have
never known sin.”
Mercy is our special vow and the particular charism of our
Order. God created the universe, and it
was and is good. God’s mercy sees only
that which God is, which is good. Let us
pour out mercy upon the world and walk humbly by the gift of His mercy into the
Kingdom. Amen.
