Ends and Desires

"Your life is shaped by the ends you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire."
—Thomas Merton, from "Thoughts in Solitude"

Merton describes here one of the reasons for why I'm a Christian: Christianity selects the ends that I live for and the liturgies that shape my desires.

Ends and desires. Your life is shaped by the ends you live for, and you are made in the image of what you desire.
