A thought and prayer for today

Today’s thought is from Thomas Merton

“The evil in the world is all of our own making, and it proceeds entirely from our ruthless, senseless, wasteful, destructive, and suicidal neglect of our own being.” 
— from Seeds by Thomas Merton

Alpha and Omega, First and Last,
 glory outshining all the lights of heaven:
pour out upon us your Spirit
 of faithful love and abundant compassion,
 so that we may rejoice in the splendour of your works
 while we wait in expectation 
for the new heaven and the new earth you promise
 when Christ shall come again. Amen.
