This quote has been circulating on a couple of blogs (here and here). I really liked it as well and wanted to post it too. Enjoy.
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbor’s worthy if anything can.”
Thomas Merton
Vocation of Love
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy…. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbor’s worthy if anything can.”
At the risk of being oversimplistic (but I don’t care), let me say that if we could all truly do what that quote says, everything else would take care of itself.
