Description
We will ruminate in common upon Merton's teaching a way of prayer for making an index for your spiritual autobiography, a way of praying he taught his novices that resonates with Ignatius of Loyola’s Contemplatio ad Amorem and Buddhist Metta, loving-kindness, meditation.
Mary Oliver's poems instigate a way of praying with our bodies at attention to finding God in all our life's things. Our work, she wrote, is "loving the world."
We shall develop exercises for us and our spiritual directees to pray, as Merton taught, "out of the roots of our own lives."
