SUMMARY:Thomas Merton Retreat\, Wisdom House\, Litchfield\, CT
DESCRIPTION:The Humanity of Thomas Merton and the Key to Grace for an Impossible World \nWith Sophfronia Scott \nThe Thomas Merton who lived as a contemplative monk studying\, writing\, and praying was also\na man who could be impatient\, rambunctious\, charming\, deceptive\, in pain and in love. In other\nwords\, he was completely human and in the vulnerability of that messy humanity he most felt\nthe grace of God. That humanity can take Merton beyond the realm of mystic/saint\, making\nhim more accessible to us so that through him we may learn how to reach for God in the midst\nof our own imperfections. Author Sophfronia Scott considers this connection and\, recognizing\nthat so many of the issues of Merton’s time (race\, peace\, ambition\, materialism\, love) are\,\nsometimes frustratingly so\, still our issues today\, will discuss how Merton’s work helps us to see\nthrough a lens of grace\, allowing us to love the impossible world even as we seek to redeem it. \nDuring our time together Sophfronia will also work with us on how everyone can develop our\nown relationship with Merton’s spirituality in a way that will help deepen our own and allow us\nto tune into the unity Merton sensed during his life changing epiphany at 4 th and Walnut.
