Recusiveness

Thomas Merton made a simple choice to live a life of personal love and communication with God when he entered the Trappist Monastery. Some of my friends in one of my reading clubs condemn his reasoning believing that personal prayer and a closer relationship with God does nothing to change society. I disagree. I am merely small cog in life’s spinning wheel. I have no political or social power the effect instant much less lasting change, but I can recuse myself in my private room and pray, as Jesus invites in our New Testament. I do believe that prayer is effective; therefor, my prayers and my nearness to God are beneficial, even in our Facebook and Instagram society.
