This is so beautiful and meaningful thank you
God Bless Thomas Merton I
What a gift felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket!
Listening to this in Bangkok where Mertons life ended. I feel close to him here. Wonderful reading.
I really enjoyed this !
How incredibly achingly beautiful. I have listened to this video so many times and it always touches me and comforts me with the knowledge that this ache of longing for God is real. I am very grateful and would love to hear more from you.
Wonderful.
Thank you!🌲
Thank you for taking us on this road...
Thank you for such a beautiful, inspiring essay.
This was lovely, thankyou ❤
Smiles you are simply amazing
😁
Inspiring~Beautiful~Moving essay...
I purchased a box of the best honey I have ever tasted. I worked for the King Range National Conservation Area in Mendo Co and stumbled at this Abby. One of the sisters showed me around and I felt so at peace. I would highly recommend anyone to go there post Covid. God bless anyone who has this calling.
Spent two nights on the beaches of the north Kings Range Conservation Area. Not a soul in sight… Some of the most amazing solitude I’ve ever known.
after an argument and distressed and I find your words and feel peace again thank you
Thank you, Mr. Bahnson. You are a wonderful writer ! I enjoyed this immensely. And I loved hearing the quotes of the Sisters, Brothers, and Mystics. You are certainly following the will of God for you.
marvelous.
Utterly beautiful. Thank you so much ☺️
I have just listened to this again and then read Lucia's comment below and wholeheartedly agree with every word. This spoke and resonated so very much. Thank you.
Excellent as well as a joy. Thank you 🙏❤️
Thank you. Beautiful essay.
I'm left speechless, but nourished. Wonderful. Well done.
Speechless AND nourished.
What happened to you after that?
@@johnwilliamodonnell1885 I found the permission to embrace my own restless pilgrim allowing her to lead me to my own undiscovered self.
Is there anything worse than longing for God and him hiding from you? Life just doesn't seem to be worth while without his obvious presence... I have forgotten everything he ever taught me and sit in doubt over everything, waiting hoping he will return to console me......
Your honest words of longing remind me of my favorite prayer by Merton: “ my Lord God I have no idea where I am going. I do not know the road ahead of me. I do not know where the road will end, nor do I know myself. And the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean I am actually doing so. But I hope my desire to please you, does in fact, please you, and I hope I will never do anything apart from this desire. But if I do, I know you will put me on the right road, though I may know nothing of it. Therefore will I trust you always, even though I am lost and in the shadow of death, I will fear nothing, for you are with me always, and I know you will never leave me to face my perils alone.” ( this is from memory, so there may be some small errors.)
I believe your yearning is part of God’s plan for you, “even though you may know nothing of it….even though I am lost…you are with me always, and (He) will never leave you to face your perils ( even of yearnings of feeling lost), alone.” Elizabeth Davis.
@@elizabethdavis52 I can relate to that Prayer....Even though God has hidden his presence from me, at the same time I am growing in faith,...
God is mysterious , I trust in him still...
Thank you Elizabeth, I appreciate the time and effort you took to console me...
May the Lord Bless you.
Beautiful...I want to be there
Gorgeous.
Thomas Merton always makes me wonder, dream, pray.
Yes, the worldly certainly love Thomas Merton.
At the beginning from 4-5mins the narrator is slightly confusing, because of Merton's sitting in the airport bar having a drink. He had not been in a bar for at least 27yrs. Thomas Merton evidently documented it, as he did the entire trip. But the narrator condensed it and cut certain parts out to fit his program length, which turned out to be excellent after those first six minutes which would be confusing if you do not know anything about Thomas Merton. He was certainly not looking to recover a degraded bar hopping past, which he evidently did go through a phase of, but that was terminated long before he even entered the Monastery.
Towards the end of this video the narrator mentions resentment, which Merton writes of in "New Seeds of Contemplation" p.108-9
But regarding his own personal getting over or giving up resentment, one article I read said he did resent people who were harassing about his past. Apparently not only was it some of his brothers in the Monastery but people on the outside were using it to attack his author credibility. He wrote that resentment is the most necessary of renunciations or it can become a mental sickness.
“....at the center of our being is a point of nothingness ....which is untouched by sin and illusion ....a point of pure truth....a point or spark which belongs entirely to God.....which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, ... which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind.... or the brutalities of our own will.... this little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty... is the pure glory of God in us.....”
Thank you for your beautiful comment. Lots of love and blessings from Germany.

@@normanchu2482 Thank you so much. I wish you a Happy New Year 2021. May God bless you and guide your way.

Still don't understand what Merton was doing dabbling in Buddism.
Oh, earnest vanity will search a lifetime for something that was never lost.
If only was religious as Merton
I have read all of Merton's books. However I am extremely puzzled that Jerusalem or St Catherine's was not on his itinerary. Evidently after a lifetime spent in the Mass and Christian mysticism he was still unfilled and searching. The Asian Journal is especially baffling.I just do not understand how a monk of Merton's stature could be lacking a deep God experience.And then it all ends in a freak accident. Instead of faith it is a story of doubt.
@Blessed are the Poor I am sorry but for the life of me I fail to understand any interest in New spiritual horizons after you have found the truth.I have read his Eastern Journal and it does not read like any of his other books. His confession is gone.And I do not see how frequenting Buddhist shrines is good Catholic practice. And then he dies in a freak accident. Judge for Yourself. But my face is turned only to Jerusalem!
His life was suddenly cut short.
It is interesting to imagine his works that he was unable to bring forward.
I imagine his exploration of Masters wound go on and on.
Thank you.
I expect that Thomas Merton led a life of discovery going ever deeper into truth. He discovered God's all pervading divinity in many things and many places. Surely that is how an omnipotent and endlessly creative God would express and reveal himself. I expect he always felt most at home with familiar Christian things and raw nature as do I.
Merton’s guide was Christ
This is so fake, man! So woke.
