A Lost Capacity


The question arises is modern man----confused and exhausted by a multitude of words,opinions,doctrines and slogans----psychologically capable of the clarity and confidence necessary for valid prayer? Is he not so frustrated and deafened by conflicting propagandas that he has lost his capacity for deep and simple trust?
(by Thomas Merton from Life and Holiness).
No wonder Jesus said we must become as little children.
