Title: Thomas Merton on Solitude and Togetherness

Author: Thomas Merton

Language: English

Summary:

You are invited to take a spiritual journey with Thomas Merton. Originally presented to a group of nuns on a four-day retreat, these moving talks will touch your heart while revealing new pathways for your spiritual growth.

As you examine the relationship between solitude and solidarity, you will explore contemplation as practiced in its diverse forms by believers worldwide.

For Merton, being contemplative meant living out the essential elements of the spiritual life. Having lived out the challenges and triumphs of a contemplative life, Merton had a plethora of practical advice to offer. If the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is truly at work daily, then what does it look like? How can we identify its authentic presence? If it's important to spend time in silence with God, how do we go about entering into it fruitfully?

The chance to hear Merton-in his own voice-work through these and many other questions is priceless, for these talks reveal just how much care and wisdom he brings to the conversation. Ultimately, Merton seeks to teach us to welcome Christ's abundant life into our hearts so that we can truly experience the joy of the Resurrection.

Let him show you the path to that profound joy today.

Summary:

What does it mean to not just go on pilgrimage, but to live as a pilgrim?

This extraordinary audio retreat will answer these questions and more, touching your heart and strengthening your faith journey. 

Taught by beloved presenter and retreat master Fr. Dan Crosby, this special retreat draws on the rich legacy of pilgrimage to provide rich insights into your life and faith. 

We are always pilgrims, always on the way, growing and getting closer to the truth. We travel this “way” in a long line of pilgrims, from Abraham and Sarah to our own times. In a sense, even Jesus was a pilgrim when he came to be one of us. 

A pilgrim mentality demands a deep Gospel spirituality, the kind that early Christians lived when they described themselves in Acts as followers of “the Way.” You will explore the significance of being a “pilgrim people” in the Bible and in the documents of Vatican II. You will then discover eight “BE-attitudes”: Gospel attitudes that will guide you along your spiritual journey. 

Follow Jesus on His Way in this deeply insightful course today.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.
