How beautiful and simple God's plan for humankind is

"How beautiful and simple God's plan for humankind is! ... Friends, who love, who suffer, who search, who see God's joy, who live in the glory of God; and all around them, the world which does not understand that it too is Proverb, which does not find the Lord's joy, which seems to seek to self-destruct, which despairs of rising above material things. That wants to destroy itself in the fire, despairing that it can soar above material things."

Thomas Merton, writing to Jacques Maritain about Raïssa's Journal (The Courage for Truth: Letters to Writers)
