Christ Casting Avarice From The Temple ©Alfred Eaker 2018
“I came into the world. Free by nature, in the image of God. I was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which I was born. That world was the picture of Hell, full of men like myself, loving God, and yet hating him; born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers.”
Thomas Merton, excerpt from Seven Storey Mountain (read by Pope Francis in his address to congress)
