Wayne Burns shares his Merton thought of the Day:

"When a man suffers, he is most alone. Therefore, it is in suffering that we are most tested as persons. How can we face the awful interior questioning? What shall we answer when we come to be examined by pain? Without God, we are no longer persons. We lose our manhood and our dignity. We become dumb animals under pain, happy if we can behave at least like quiet animals and die without too much commotion."

( NO MAN IS AN ISLAND, page 81 )

How will I look at suffering and death this week?


And Christy shares poignant words from Duane. Wow! This is one of the most powerful things I have ever read.
