Thomas Merton and Contemplative Prayer
To celebrate 100 years since Thomas Merton's birth, the Institute for Benedictine Studies is offering a retreat reflecting on and praying with Merton's wisdom. Merton's writings on contemplative prayer appealed to people of all walks of life when they first appeared back in the 1950s and 60s. With their distinctive insistence on the melding of prayer with action in the world, Merton's words still resonant with the issues of our times and our desires to journey deeply into God. This weekend will be led by Dr Carmel Posa SGS. 6-8 November. Recommended cost: $260.00.
