The mystery of Christmas therefore lays upon us all a debt and
an obligation to the rest of the human race and to the whole created universe.
We who have seen the light of Christ are obliged by the greatness of the grace
that has been given us to make known the presence of the Savior to the ends of
the earth. This we will do not only by preaching the glad tidings of his
coming, but above all by revealing him in our lives. Christ is born to us in
order that he may appear to the whole world through us. This one day is the day
of his birth, but every day of our mortal lives must be his manifestation, his
divine epiphany, in the world which he has created and redeemed.

Thomas Merton Quotes
The writings of Thomas Merton are gilded with truth, light and life. They have been deeply instrumental and inspirational to me in my journey towards experiencing and knowing God in deeper ways. This will be a continually evolving page as I add more and more quotes from his material. I'm going to have the quotes segmented in sections under the headings of the titles of his works in which I've found these awesome insights and reflections. They are handpicked and plucked right out of his works and not the general ones you might find on some of the very helpful, yet limited quotation websites.
Enjoy, and may you be blessed by them.
A Life in Letters: The Essential Collection
Edited by: William H. Shannon and
Christine M. Bochen
"It is true that when I came to this monastery where I am, I came in revolt against the meaningless confusion of a life in which there was so much activity, so much movement, so much useless talk, so much superficial and needless stimulation, that I could not remember who I was. But the fact remains that my flight from this world is not a reproach to you who remain in the world, and I have no right to repudiate the world in a purely negative faction, because if I do that my flight will have taken me not to truth and to God but to a private, though doubtless pious, illusion."
"I have been summoned to explore a desert area of man's heart in which explanations no longer suffice, and in which one learns that only exprience counts."
