The Time of Darkness


"When the time comes to enter the dakness in which we are naked and helpless and alone; in which we see the insufficiency of our greatest strength and the hollowness of our strongest virtues;in which we have nothing of our own to rely on,and nothing in our nature to support us,and nothing in the world to guide us or give us light--then we find out whether or not we live by faith."
(by Thomas Merton,from New Seeds of Contemplation).
"Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil:for thou art with me."(Psalm 23:4)
