Life will bring us questions without answers; To live is to encounter silent seasons of the soul, When every prayer will seem to go unanswered – As we face events beyond our understanding or control. Yet in the quiet darkness, Christ is working. His silence in the shadows doesn’t mean he doesn’t care; A part of faith is trusting without reason, Believing, when he can’t be seen or heard, that he’s still there…So when answers fail to come, don’t be discouraged. Keep leaning on his steadfast love and trusting in his will, For knowing “why” won’t really make a difference – But growing close and knowing Jesus will.

Thomas Merton
If we try to contemplate God without having turned the face of our inner self entirely in His direction, we will end up inevitably by contemplating ourselves, and we will perhaps plunge into the abyss of warm darkness which is our own sensible nature. That is not a darkness in which one can safely remain passive.
