The Spirituality of Thomas Merton
Explore the spirituality of Thomas Merton and deepen your practice of spiritual direction through this virtual program, open to all spiritual directors. May our prayer resonate with Thomas Merton‘s prayer: “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me… But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.” Facilitated by Donna Bilek.
This is a virtual program, open to all spiritual directors. A Zoom Meeting link will be emailed to registered participants by the Friday before the program. When registering, please be sure to include the correct email address to which the Zoom link should be sent.
