Lord my God,
I have no idea where I'm going,
I do not see the road before me,
I can not know with certainty where it will end.
And not even know myself really,
and the fact that I think I will follow your
does not mean it is really doing.
But I am convinced that the desire to please you
really welcomes you.
And I hope to have him in all things.
I hope I never do anything without such a desire.
And I know if my
do so will lead me in the right way, though
can not find anything.
I will trust you always though
as I may seem to be lost
and wrapped in the shadow of death.
Do not be afraid,
because you are always with me
and will never leave me alone in the face of danger.
Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude , Milan 1959
