The "Narrow Way"

Man is neither a devil or an angel.
He is not pure spirit, but a being of flesh and spirit, subject to error and malice, but basically inclined to seek truth and goodness. He is, indeed, a sinner: but his heart responds to love and grace.
It also responds to the goodness and to the need of his fellow man.
--Thomas Merton, Life and Holiness, 37

Without faith, the "narrow way"* is utterly impossible.
--Thomas Merton, Life and Holiness, 31

The "narrow way" refers to the difficulties faced when living a God-centered life.
