Avoid a darkened spirituality

Proverbs 4:19 (NIV) But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.

A spirituality that preaches resignation under official brutalities, servile acquiescence in frustration and sterility, and total submission to organized injustice is one which has lost interest in holiness and remains concerned only with a spurious notion of "order." -Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
