Merton Again...

If you've read the blog for very long, you realize that I am fascinated by the writings of Thomas Merton. During my recent retreat, I used his "Book of Hours"
as a guideline in my prayer time. The following video is an introduction to him.

Who Cares about the Saints? (Thomas Merton) from Loyola Productions on Vimeo.

Just a note...reading "The Seven Storey Mountain" a couple of years ago has led me to try to lead a more contemplative, prayerful life. His autobiography shows a very flawed human with a heart for God. If you are not of the Catholic faith, please realize that he was...and felt very strongly about the Catholic church. Don't let this put you off from reading his works...they can speak to us all.
