Mission Statement

“To feed, clothe, and offer shelter and aid to those in need”.

“My Lord God”

I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself.
And the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have the desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of Death.
I will not fear for you are ever with me and you will never leave me to face my troubles alone.

-Thomas Merton
