  God Speaks to Each of Us: The Poetry and Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke, Hörbuch, Digital, 332min

  Join Thomas Merton in exploring the timeless words of one of the world's greatest poets, Rainer Maria Rilke. Before entering the monastery, Thomas Merton studied English at Columbia University and taught literature at St. Bonaventure University. His passion for literature never faded, and now you have the rare opportunity to take Thomas Merton as your guide in this set of outstanding remastered lectures on the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke. Perhaps no poet had as great an influence on Merton as Rilke, who was arguably the greatest modern European poet. Born to a devout Catholic mother in 18th-century Bohemia, Rilke is cherished for his beautiful verse and his multifaceted views on faith. Deeply influenced by the spiritual figures of his time, Rilke sought to explore God through the imaginative possibilities of poetry. A renowned poet himself, Merton saw poetry as one of the most fundamental and profound modes of human expression. In exploring the works of Rilke, Merton weaves his love of Catholic spirituality together with this passion for poetry, showing how they complement and shed light on each other. By looking at such works as Duino Elegies, The Book of Hours, and Letters to a Young Poet, you will discover how Rilke demonstrates holiness through imaginative possibilities. With Merton as your guide, you will come to understand the abiding power of poetry. Encounter God through the timeless poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. (Photograph of Thomas Merton by Sibylle Akers.

  Ways of Prayer: A Desert Father's Wisdom, Hörbuch, Digital, 332min

  Join Thomas Merton in exploring one of the most influential figures in the history of spirituality. Born in the fourth century, Saint John Cassian (AD 360-435) lived when tensions between the traditional and innovative peaked. A monk and theologian, Cassian made the Christian tradition relevant for the needs of his day in his spiritual works. Indeed, his spirituality remains essential today; he influenced Saints Benedict and Ignatius of Loyola, and his works continue to be read worldwide. Now you have the opportunity to discover the vitality of Cassian's philosophy of prayer with Thomas Merton in these remastered recordings of his lectures. A teacher par excellence, Merton breathes new life into ancient texts as he passes tradition onto novices. Merton's lectures are not didactic presentations about Cassian's teachings but rather an application of them for the modern world. Cassian integrated Eastern monasticism into Western thought, and his conferences provide the principles of monastic life: unceasing prayer, charity, and asceticism. Especially compelling are his teachings about prayer and virtue and his examination of the "prayer of fire" as the goal of contemplation. Merton guides you through these topics and more in his captivating conferences. You will discover why the mysticism of John Cassian is cherished in the monastic tradition and the wider Christian community alike. These conferences will inspire you as you explore your own spiritual life. Photograph of Thomas Merton by Sibylle Akers.

  Thomas Merton on Desert Spirituality, Hörbuch, Digital, 221min

  Travel into the desert with Thomas Merton as your guide. In the third century, men and women journeyed into the deserts of Syria and Egypt. Turning away from the world, they sought to find salvation in solitude. By doing so, they developed new forms of monasticism and spirituality. Now known as the Desert Fathers and Mothers, their wisdom remains as inspirational today as ever. In this set of lectures released to the public for the first time ever, you will learn about these spiritual ancestors with Thomas Merton as your personal teacher. Under Merton's guidance, you'll enter the Abbey of Gethsemani to journey through centuries of spiritual history. These eight talks, originally recorded in the 1960s and remastered for your enjoyment, center on the eremitic mystics in modern-day Syria. You'll meet such inspirational figures as St. Symeon the Stylite, St. Julian Sabas the Elder, and St. Aphraates. As you will learn from Merton, these complex monks were far ahead of their time. As Merton says, these hermits were "humble, quiet, sensible people, with a deep knowledge of human nature" (The Wisdom of the Desert). By journeying into the desert, they found a transcendent closeness with Jesus Christ. Centuries later, we still have much to glean from their works. When you listen to Thomas Merton in his own voice, you will open your mind and spirit to the timeless wisdom of the desert. Photograph of Thomas Merton by Sibylle Akers.

  Thomas Merton on Monastic Spirituality and the Quest for Peace, Hörbuch, Digital, 288min

  What can your spiritual ancestors teach you about holy living today? Although they led ascetic lives centuries ago, St. Benedict, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and other early Christian saints have much to teach everyone in the 21st century. Through their enduring writings, they created blueprints of the spiritual life that remain as powerful in our time as ever. Now, with the modern mystic and monk Thomas Merton as your teacher, you can meet some of these great contemplatives and encounter their teachings. Under Merton's guidance, you'll travel back through centuries of our spiritual history to meet these men and women to whom God spoke. You will begin by looking at The Rule of St. Benedict, which remains a relevant, practical, and faith-filled guide for holiness. Next you will look at the beginnings of monasticism in the West before traveling to the East to meet the Desert Fathers and Mothers, whose Sayings remains one of the greatest works in the Christian tradition. You will also examine Athanasius' The Life of Anthony, which is a treasure of the spiritual life. As you will come to understand, the monastic life stresses that reality and the ideal life are not opposed to each other but rather exist together. Through encountering the lives of these holy men and women, you will become more aware of Christ's presence in the world. Join Merton in discovering the powerful - and timeless - wisdom of Christianity's early masters today. Photograph of Thomas Merton by Sibylle Akers.

  Thomas Merton: A Spiritual Guide for the Twenty-First Century, Hörbuch, Digital, 313min

  This is a course about Thomas Merton and you. You will explore Thomas Merton's remarkable life and works while actively developing a relationship with him. For many, Merton has become a lifelong mentor and spiritual guide, and he will bring you to new places with the questions he raises and the experiences he shares. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, Thomas Merton will speak to you. Your guide, Fr. Anthony Ciorra, is one of those very rare professors who will delight and inspire you. Given the pontifical honor Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by Pope John Paul II, and author of Everyday Mysticism, Fr. Ciorra is a remarkable teacher. Through these 12 lectures, Fr. Ciorra will help you understand the extraordinary life and works of Thomas Merton. Merton's path to conversion was complex, and he struggled with questions regarding God's existence, moral values, and the place of organized religion. He pioneered religious dialogue with the East, and his experiences of prayer led him to a contemplative openness and issues of social justice. As you study Merton in this course, you will be invited to use many of the same tools Merton used to aid in his spiritual growth: journaling, poetry, letter writing, photography, and art. These tools will help you enter more deeply into your own experience with the mystery of God. You will be challenged, inspired, and offered the opportunity to grow and change as you come to know Merton in this course. You will not be disappointed.
