Exploring prayer with Thomas Merton (127281)

Thomas Merton, a Cistercian contemplative monk, introduced many to monastic spirituality through his copious writings. His central theme is the importance of prayer, especially contemplative prayers and the grounding of all Christian action in prayer. Therese short extracts will inspire readers to explore meditation and contemplation, by beginning to meditate on the Psalms, a well-trodden path to closer union with God.
