The Time of Praise

Venus Transit by  Carlos Gotay

The Time of Praise: 

“Le Temps Vierge” of Eternity

“You have given me roots in eternity.” 

(Thomas Merton, Entering the Silence, page 473)

Praises and canticles anticipate

Each day the singing bells that wake the sun.

Open the secret eye of faith

And drink these deeps of invisible life.

(Thomas Merton, “After the night Office: Gethsemani Abbey, Collected Poems, page 108)

“I have only time for eternity”.

(Thomas Merton, Entering the Silence, page 234)
