Items related to An Invitation to the Contemplative Life
Thomas Merton, a twentieth-century Trappist monk, wrote passionately about spirituality in a way that speaks to the hearts of men and women today. Merton's gift to all of us is this simple message: the contemplative experience, which uncovers our unity with the Lord and a new vision of life, is not only for monks but for all Christians. This collection highlights the main themes of Merton's contemplative journey: the search for freedom; prayer of the heart; solitude and silence; love of nature; community life; and work, among others. Guided by his wisdom and insight, readers can uncover their own unique path inward and receive the gift of the contemplative experience.

From the Back Cover:
"Thomas Merton was perhaps the most beloved Christian spiritual master of the twentieth century. In this thoughtful collection of some of Merton's most enduring meditations, Wayne Simsic offers readers a wonderful interdiction to the Trappist monk's unique approach to the spiritual life. Merton's profound reflections will help all readers - from the skeptical agnostic to the devout Christian - grow steadily in freedom, in self-knowledge, and ultimately, in love with God." James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints.
About the Author:
"Wayne Simsic has done a wonderful job selecting and arranging key passages that reveal Thomas Merton's contemplative life and provide an opportunity to deepen our own. This fine collection offers an invitation definitely worth accepting." Patrick F. O'Connell, coauthor of The Thomas Merton Encyclopedia and past president of the International Thomas Merton Society.
Wayne Simsic teaches in the Religious Studies Department of Ursuline College in Cleveland, Ohio, and directs retreats that explore the mystics as spiritual guides. Among the numerous books on spirituality he has written are Praying with John of the Cross and Praying with Thomas Merton.
