Thomas Merton:  Activism of the Spirit

Montaldo, Director Emeritus of the Merton Center at Bellermine University, says that people respond to Merton's writings because he wrote from the deepest part of his soul. He was an authentic monk in the spirit of Meister Eckhart.  "Merton believed that to know yourself truly is to know God, who is intimately involved in your innermost self."
