Abstract

The article highlights on Thomas Merton's vocation, particularly his first Christmas at Gethsemani in 1941, a passage excised from "The Seven Storey Mountain." Merton explores the paradox of God's presence. Topics include the transformative power of Advent, the realization of God's presence within, and the purpose of a Cistercian monk's life as an ongoing work of disinterested love, culminating in everlasting rest.
