More on Isaiah 7:14

Thank you to reader Keith for alerting me to this post from the new Speaking of Scripture blog. The post is by Dr. Peter Williamson, co-editor of the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture. In his post, he discusses the recent news of the NABRE's decision to go with "young woman" over "virgin" for Isaiah 7:14. It is worth a read through.

Prayer of Thomas Merton

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 that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
