A PRAYER

My Lord God I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me; I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself and the fact that I think I am following your will does not always mean that I am actually following it. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.

- Thomas Merton

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. - Matthew 6:21

Are you wondering if there is more to life than just working, shopping, surviving? Is there more to the spiritual quest than Sunday services?

MARGARET SILF is an ecumenical lay Christian, committed to working across and beyond the denominational divides. For most of her working life she was employed in the computer industry and recently left paid employment to devote herself to writing and accompanying others on their spiritual journey, especially through retreats and days of reflection.

She is the author of a number of books on the spiritual journey for 21st century pilgrims who may or may not identify with institutional religion, and a regular columnist with “America” magazine. Some of her books include:

• Inner Compass;
• Wise Choices;
• Close to the Heart;
• Gift of Prayer;
• Sacred Spaces;
• Roots and Wings: The human journey from a speck of stardust to a spark of God (2006); and
• Companions of Christ.
