Deskripsi
Thomas Merton’s classic study of monastic prayer and contemplation brings a tradition of spirituality alive for the present day. But, as A.M. Allchin points out in his Intoduction to this new edition, Contemplative Prayer also shows us the present day in a new perspective, because we see it in the light of a long living tradition. Merton stresses that in meditation we should not look for a ‘method’ or ‘system’ but cultivate an ‘attitude’ or ‘outlook’: faith, opennes, attention, reverence, trust, joy. God is found in the desert of surrender, in giving up any expectation of a particular message and ‘waiting’ on the Word of God in silence’.
