Merton was born on this day in 1915… a couple of my favorite quotes:
“Reason is in fact the path to faith, and faith takes over when reason can say no more…Faith does not destroy reason, but fulfills it.”
“One of the paradoxes of our age is that millions of men who have found it impossible to believe in God have blindly submitted themselves in human faith to every charlatan who has access to a printing press, a movie screen, or a microphone.”
“or a blog,” I think Merton would have added.
