To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the
reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity.
Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name. If,
therefore, I do anything or think anything or say anything or know anything
that is not purely for the love of God, it cannot give me peace, or rest, or
fulfillment, or joy. To find love I must enter into the sanctuary where it is
hidden, which is the mystery of God.
Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
