The Technological Society – Thomas Merton

Gentle whistles of a bluebird and, in the mist, a SAC plane swoops huge and low over the ridges where Edelin’s valley is and where the final hermitages are to be. I wonder if it carries bombs. Most probably. They all do, I am told. October 30, 1964 (Dancing in the Waters of Life: Seeking Peace in the Hermitage — Volume 5: 1963-1965)
As wars and rumors of wars increase, I truly do wonder what God thinks. This creation that was created good (and humankind was created very good) has fallen so far. With my mentor, brother, and friend Thomas Merton I do wonder… speak your words of peace dear Lord in the midst of this chaos.
Dona Nobis Pacem, Grant Us Peace

Reflect on what is being said and think about our world today. Think about why we struggle to understand the meaning of being human and the difference it makes.
