We are not converted
Only once in our lives
But many times and
This endless series of
Large and small
Conversions,
Inner revolutions,
Leads to our
Transformation
In Christ
But while we may have
The generosity to
Undergo one or two
Such upheavals, we
Cannot face the necessity
Of further and greater
Rendings of our inner-self,
Without which we
Cannot finally
Become free!
Thomas Merton. “Life & Holiness”
Herder & Herder, NY:1963. p.159
