“Spirit of love and communion, give me grace to understand the mind of Christ. Let me do his will by obedience to the revelation of the Father’s will that all of us be “one body.” I cannot understand the depths of this mystery. Give me the grace to love it.”
The Merton Institute for Contemplative Living, Lent and Easter Wisdom From Thomas Merton: Daily Scripture and Prayers Together With Thomas Merton's Own Words

“Insofar as the Church is a community of pardon it is an epiphany of the Divine Love, Agape.…This love is the key to everything, but it cannot be known, discovered or understood by rational investigation alone. It must be revealed to men in a free gift of God. It is revealed to them in the gift of love. God has willed that men should know Him not in esoteric secrets and strange philosophies, but in the announcement of the Gospel message which is the message of His love. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). “You have not chosen me but I have chosen you, and have appointed you that you should go and bear fruit….These things I command you that you may love one another” (John 15:16–17). The love of Christians, commanded by God and carried out by them, makes them “God’s workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV).”
