Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton was electrocuted and died in Bangkok on December 10th, 1968. I take this moment to celebrate this great soul, author, priest, monk, and guide.

Merton was very ahead of his time, even today many Catholics are resistant to his teachings, I lived at John Michael Talbot community for about a year and never talked to a sister or brother interested in his work at all

....I left

Wow! I visited JMT's Community for Thanksgiving 1998? I am surprised, and then also not surprised, to hear about their resistance to Merton.

God bless you friend, pd

I am studying Thomas Merton little by little, and i think that if you listen to his words, you can really grow, and see things in new ways. What books would you guys recommend me to read?
