Our job’s to love others
Without stopping to see
Whether or not
They are worthy
That’s not our business
In fact, nobodies
What were asked to do is
To love everybody
And this love itself
Through God we will see
Will render both us
And our neighbors worthy
Let us thank our God
Who loves abundantly
Through his grace may we
Love generously
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy. ~Thomas Merton
Amen, brother. This is the path our Lord has been leading me down for at least ten years. I’m gradually getting better at it, I hope.
