Experience God in Natural Surroundings
I appreciate suggestions from those dedicated to Thomas Merton's Catholic influence as well as the contemplative prayer community.
I encourage you to visit www.merton.org to join the International Thomas Merton Society (ITMS). ITMS supports the repository of Merton's writings and his belongings at the Merton Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
Visit Bellarmine University's Merton Center at https://merton.bellarmine.edu/s/Merton/page/welcome.
If you desire to experience God in the natural surroundings that inspired Thomas Merton, visit the Abby of Gesthemani, where he lived and prayed for 30 years. https://monks.org/ You can book a retreat. In May of 2022, my husband, Stuart Buck, and I made a retreat to Gesthemani, and I yearn to return!
Contemplative Connections
On this page, I will feature Merton media, prayers, and people.
I plan to post links to good books, blogs, events, music, and more!
