Thomas Merton on St. John of the Cross

Thomas Merton was a Columbia University educated Trappist monk. In the mid to late 1930′s, the same time Bill W. was writing the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, Merton was having a spiritual crisis. His all night carousing and drinking was finally silenced by a spiritual transformation within the Catholic Church and a Trappist monastery. His experience is familiar to everyone working the 12-Steps. He became one of the best known spiritual thinkers and writers of our day until his death in 1968.

This is an essay on St. John of the Cross a 16th Century Catholic mystic. I found it to be very enlightening. Highly suggested.
