Spiritual Exercises with Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk acclaimed to be one of the most influential spiritual masters of the twentieth century, taught his novices that they should pray by "entering the school of their lives." In this webinar, Jonathan Montaldo, an author and expert on the writings of Merton, will present examples of spiritual exercises from Merton's journal writing to help us more fully become our true selves.

I think he said Merton's book Seven Storey Mountain sold 650 copies the first year, but I think it was more than that? I heard elsewhere.

I believe he meant to say 650,000 copies.

This is not about Thomas Merton, so much as it is about one man's struggled to become enlightened, which from his own closing words, was not happy with his efforts and life results and who would die in his ignorance. The Awakened has achieved perfection and individual genius in their own right and confession, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

Guru means spiritual teacher in Hindi. I consider Merton my spiritual teacher; therefore he’s my guru. 🙏
