Profoundly Beautiful
It has been decades since I picked up a work by Thomas Merton. This podcast, featuring one of his students, has brought me back to those days when I first marveled at Merton’s astounding spiritual insights. For me, adulthood, work, and material considerations eventually held sway in my mind and I lost touch with the part of myself that Merton’s writings had brought alive. I attended a church in which ugly, right-wing politics eventually drove away gentler parishioners, including, finally, myself. These podcasts are a light in the darkness, leading listeners into a sanctuary of peace. It is a balm for the soul and reminds fallen-away Catholics like me of the divine genius that lies at the core of our religion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
