Acerca de esta escucha
Enjoy one of the greatest recorded works by Thomas Merton, the 20th century’s greatest spiritual writer.
In the summer of 1967, religious communities around the world were experiencing a time of renewal and reflection. As monasteries sought to adopt practices prescribed by the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI asked two Cistercian monks to compose a message about the contemplative life. Those monks in turn sought the contributions of a fellow monk and master of contemplation - Thomas Merton. The resulting recording encapsulates the spiritual wisdom of a humble monk who changed the world.
This digitally remastered recording is part of Thomas Merton’s spoken word legacy and is one in a series of carefully curated and remastered archival recordings of Thomas Merton - available exclusively from Now You Know Media. Allow the voice of Thomas Merton to guide you along your spiritual journey.

The Wisdom of the Desert was one of Thomas Merton's favorites among his own books, surely because he had hoped to spend his last years as a hermit. The personal tones of the translations and the blend of reverence and humor so characteristic of him show how deeply Merton identified with the legendary authors of these sayings and parables, the fourth-century Christian fathers who sought solitude and contemplation in the deserts of the Near East.

Christian theology may not believe in Marxism, and Marxism may think that God is dead, but the two ideologies still have much to say to one another. Thomas Merton, one of the world’s greatest modern Christian intellectuals, was fascinated by the dialogue between Marxists and Christians. Now, by listening to these nine masterful talks, which Merton delivered to the novices at the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1965 and 1966, you can join in these conversations.

Merton first looks at the "Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy," which is, as Merton calls it, a work of supreme faith and the most important document on the liturgy in 1,600 years. He then explored the Vatican II's schemata on the religious life, which eventually culminated in the "Decree on the Adaptation and Renewal of Religious Life." Merton's lectures took place before this document was issued, so you will get a fascinating look at the inner workings of the church.

Hear Thomas Merton’s spiritually edifying voice. Originally recorded in August of 1965 at the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, Greek Tragedy: Suffering Leads to Wisdom considers the parallels between ancient Greek models of suffering (with Sophocles’s play Antigone as an exponent) and Judeo-Christian ideas about suffering and the creation of meaning. This was among the last classes that Merton ever gave to the novice monks at Gethsemani.

This set of six talks reveals a lesser-known side of Thomas Merton: an eminent critic and teacher of literature. His dual identity as a monk and literati make him the premier guide to poetic expression. As you listen along, you will enjoy moments of penetrating insight and reflection as often as moments of levity and laughter.

An absolutely wonderful insight into the mind of Thomas Merton
A Message of Contemplatives to the World is is a letter from a cistercian Abby to Thomas Merton that was an inquiry from the Pope towards contemplatives on a message they can give to the world. Thomas Merton gave his thoughts on the initial letter, basically saying that contemplatives are really in no position to be any sort of moral authority on the world as they largely live outside of the world. but if they have to give a message the message can relay a comment on Karl Marx's view that religion leads to the alienation of man and more so that total freedom can be found through prayer. these thoughts are echoed throughout Thomas's response along with his endearing sense of humor and wit. you get the view that Thomas Merton's mind is extremely rare in the life of a monk. it is true that most monks don't look outside of their inherited tradition. which is to say that they are unconcerned with other religions and are blinded by how these religions do and don't intersect.
when Thomas Merton says something so striking as "every man in his life will encounter God, and many men that aren't Christians have dealt better with this encounter than Christians" it's a striking realization that this is a man of deep Faith but also rational clarity on the world and its inhabitants both of those inside the monastery inside the Christian tradition and outside of the Christian tradition as well. this is an astounding look into the mind of Thomas Martin and I look forward to reading more of his work.
