Thomas Merton, a Trappist Monk, was a convert to the Catholic Faith as an adult. His experience of life with and without faith is the subject of this video. We have, in past weeks, discussed the Old Testament and the Story of the Christ and the Mission of the Messiah. What does it mean to take these stories seriously and life a life of faith. Here are two videos about faith. The first video is an example of faith and the Trappist monk Thomas Merton. The second video, for extra credit, is about the relationship of faith and reason, our intelligence and belief. The first video about Thomas Merton makes the case for the resurrection and its importance in the life of faith. The second video tries to explore some basic questions about the relationship between faith and reason. If you can, please watch both.
