“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone—we find it with another.”

Fr. Thomas Merton (1915-1968) ― Priest/Theologian/Philosopher

Quoted to me by Mariel, who was one of my closest friends at Boston College and is one of the most loving people I know. I met her when I was helping run a retreat common at Jesuit schools, Kairos. Through our discussions, one of the big things I learned is that for me, I find God in relationships with other people.
