I am the utter poverty of God. When this is understood, then I am the Fullness of God.


"I am the utter poverty of God.  I am His emptiness, littleness, nothingness, lostness.  When this is understood, my life in His freedom, the self-emptying of God in me, is the FULLNESS of grace."

Thomas Merton, 1968
