Thomas Merton
Quaker Worship
“What we are looking for is what is looking.”
St. Francis of Assisi
Our life is love, and peace, and tenderness;
and bearing one with another,
and forgiving one another,
and not laying accusations one against another;
but praying one for another,
and helping one another up with a tender hand.
–Isaac Pennington, Letters, 1667
