Thomas Merton - A Book of Hours

Author: 

Kathleen Deignan

Why I recommend this book:

I alternate my praying the hours between the previous book reccomended (seven sacred pauses), and this one. Kathleen has filled the hours of this book with excerps from Thomas Merton's writings: poems, prayers, essays. These are profound, and each time I pray them, they reveal new depths.
Kathleen has outlined only the four main hours: Morning, Day, Dusk, and Dark, for each day of the week. Beautiful!
