Liturgical Feasts and Seasons

USD $ 46,00

Liturgical Feasts and Seasons, in this third volume of paper, from Thomas Merton's conferences during his decade (1955-1965) as novice master at the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani, his insight into the liturgical pattern of the Christian year and beyond is presented in fresh detail. Merton's own commitment to this central dimension of Christian life is clear, and nowhere more so than in his work introducing students to the patterns that would mark their lives as monks. Though dating from the period just before the liturgical reforms of Vatican II, Merton's commentaries remain pertinent. The thoroughly annotated text is preceded by an extensive introduction situating this material in the context of Merton's lifelong writing on liturgy. Moreover, as his former student Br. Paul Quenon notes in his foreword, this context is one deeply rooted in Merton's understanding of Scripture. 'These notes . . . take us into one man's lifetime of reflection and seasoned experience of the Church Year.' In the Liturgical Feasts and Seasons: Novitiate Conferences on Scripture and Liturgy 3, Patrick F. O'Connell deeply rooted in Merton's understanding of Scripture.

Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton

Autor

Contemplativo de la abadía de Getsemaní en Kentucky (Estados Unidos), compaginó su vida como monje trapense con su actividad de escritor y poeta, retirándose a los bosques del monasterio para entregarse a su verdadera pasión: la escritura. El gran móvil de todo su planteamiento ontológico y religioso fue precisamente su aspiración a la Palabra. A través de ella proyecta, orienta y administra su propia imagen literaria y humana a lo largo de una prolífica y controvertida obra que refleja sus inquietudes más hondas, su tremenda insatisfacción ante una época en la que veía surgir llamadas de socorro por todas partes, lo que le llevaría a vincularse a los movimientos pacifistas. Fascinado por los maestros zen y taoístas, los lamas tibetanos le llegaron a calificar de «Buda de Occidente», que, en su viaje a Asia, descubre y anuncia que «todo es vacío y todo es compasión». La muerte le sorprenderá accidentalmente en la ciudad de Bangkok.

Entre sus obras traducidas al español se encuentran La montaña de los siete círculos, Pensamientos en la soledad, El zen y los pájaros del deseo, y publicadas en esta misma Editorial: Diario de Asia (2000), Correspondencia (1959-1968) entre Thomas Merton y Ernesto Cardenal (2003), Oh, corazón ardiente. Poemas de amor y de disidencia (2015), antología bilingüe al cuidado de Sonia Petisco, y El camino del Chuang Tzu (2020).
