"It is not merely our own desire but……" — Thomas Merton

It is not merely our own desire but the desire of Christ… - Thomas Merton

"It is not merely our own desire but the desire of Christ in His Spirit that drives us to grow in love. Those who seldom or never feel in their hearts the desire for the love of God and other men, and who do not thirst for the pure waters of desire which are poured out in us by the strong, living God, are usually those who have drunk from other rivers or have dug for themselves broken cisterns."

— Thomas Merton
