Love Winter When The Plant Says Nothing
Praying When Our Hearts Are on Ice

A ZOOM ON THOMAS MERTON FOR FOUR HOURS

Saturday, December 11, 2021

Featuring

Jonathan Montaldo, Editor & Writer

and

The Rev. Vincent Pizzuto, Ph.D
Theology Professor, University of San Francisco and
Vicar of St. Columba’s Episcopal Church, Inverness, California

St. Columba’s Contemplative Community celebrates the anniversary of Thomas Merton’s Death (10 December 1968)

We examine and discuss texts and poems by Merton to inspire prayer this Advent Season.
Jonathan Montaldo will lead us in two morning sessions on contemplative prayer, grounded by emptiness of heart but not of hope when “It’s dark and the dragons come and there is no more beer” [Merton].


In the early afternoon Fr. Vincent Pizzuto will interview Jonathan Montaldo on Merton’s legacy as an exemplary practitioner of contemplative prayer and social commentator.

Cost: $30 per person

Limited scholarships available
