Dear all,
Just to remind you that on Monday, the 10th December, we will remember the tragic death of Br Louis (Thomas) Merton.
I leave you with this Wikipedia page is accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Merton
Rereading his inspiring autobiography 'The Seven Story Mountain' again, recently, I was struck by the following quote, which is probably very appropriate to reflect upon on the anniversary of his death:
'I was not sure where I was going, and I could not see what I would do when I got (there). But you saw further and clearer than I, and you opened the seas before my ship, whose track led me across the waters to a place I had never dreamed of, and which you were even then preparing to be my rescue and my shelter and my home...'
Your, with brotherly love,
Geoff
[Br Geoff, OCist]
