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?
(from Life and Holiness by Thomas Merton).
Jesus said we must become as a child,innocent,trusting. Simplicity is the key.
