Love Is My Name

Thomas Merton



The root of Christian love is not the will to love, but the faith that one is loved. The faith that one is loved by God. The faith that one is loved by God although unworthy---or, rather, irrespective of one's worth! In the true Christian vision of God's love, the idea of worthiness loses its significance....


To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name.

Getting to Know God


Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  [Mt 11-28-29

The greatest source of peace, joy, enthusiasm, generosity, and love, and consequently, the greatest cure for worry, depression, greed

and hatred IS  knowing and believing with wavering that God truly is who God says God is in the Scriptures!
