Thomas Merton - Sociable Hermit (Friday 25 June 2010)

Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and bestselling author, was a man of contradictions and paradoxes. He longed for silence and anonymity yet wrote copiously; he craved solitude yet carried on a vast correspondence from his hermitage, welcomed visitors there, and even fell in love. Come and learn from him how competing desires can all somehow be contained in a life centred on God.
