Basic Principles of Monastic Spirituality by Thomas Merton |
|
"Although these pages have been written for monks," Merton says, "they will have meaning for all religious and indeed for all Christians, since the monastic life is traditionally regarded as the pure Christian life." In this early work, Merton urges monks to keep alive in the world that spiritual atmosphere without which all that is good and sane in human culture will die of asphyxiation. "In the night of our technological barbarism, monks must be as trees which exist silently in the dark and by their virtual presence purify the air." The book contains a number of photographs by the author. ISBN 0-87243-222-X $10.95 |

What is Contemplation? by Thomas Merton |
|
|
"The only way to find out anything about the joys of contemplation is by experience," writes Thomas Merton. "We must taste and see that the Lord is sweet." In this early work, unavailable for years, he sets forth the basics of Christian contemplation in the lucid, helpful way which has made him a favorite of millions. He provides a brief guide for the beginner and lets us know what to expect when we begin to move into the essential Christian experience. ISBN 0-87243-103-7 $9.95 |
