The overhead from the Commissioning Mass

a couple of volunteers wanted to see the quote from the overhead. Here it is.

 My Lord, God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
     and the fact that I think that I am following your will
     does not mean that I am actually doing so.
 
But, I believe that the desire to please you
      does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart for that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
      though I may know nothing about it.
 
Therefore will I trust you always,
      though I may seem to be lost in the shadow of death
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
      and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton
