"To be one with One Whom one cannot see is to be hidden, to be nowhere, to be no one; it is to be unknown as He is unknown, forgotten as He is forgotten, lost as He is lost to the world which nevertheless exists in Him. Yet to live in Him is to . . . be the hidden instrument of His Divine action, the messenger of His infinite Love . . . I disappear from the world as an object of interest in order to be everywhere in it by hiddenness and compassion. To exist everywhere I have to be No-one."
Thomas Merton
