We must be thorough and ruthless in our determination to break all spiritual chains, and cast off the domination of alien compulsions, and to find our true selves, to discover and develop our inalienable spiritual liberty and use it to build, on earth, the Kingdom of God. ~ Fr. Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O. 8
