Thoughts in Solitude

Merton, Thomas | Shambhala Publications, 1958

 

p. 75

“The sinful self is not my real self, it is not the self You have wanted for me, only the self that I have wanted for myself.  And I no longer want this false self.  But now Father, I come to You in your own Son’s self . . . and it is He Who presents me to You.”
