DeeDee Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 You might like to read Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation, to find out his thoughts on what the contemplative life is, and what it isn't. It's one of my favorite books.
msahara Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) You may also want to read "The Contemplative Life" by Thomas Philippe, O.P. The novice mistress at the summit monastery gave me a copy of it to read. It's a very good explanation of the life, and it's helped me a lot with my discernment. It's pretty theological and philosophical so if you like those areas of study, it's perfect! Edited August 12, 2005 by msahara
