A Spiritual Revolutionary Poem by Liam ó Comáin

Father Louis / Thomas Merton
~
From a reformed background Thomas came
With a touch of artistic endeavour…
Converting to Catholicism he took the vows
As a member of the Cistercian order.

A-flamed with the love of Christ,
Fr. Louis offered his talents
To the service of Our Father,
And through the Grace of Our Spirit
Of Love offered mankind a spiritual trove.

A trove for mankind in need of direction
As our species traverse a spiritual desert
So dig deep in the depths of Thomas’s soul
So as to gather what we require
For a solution - a world wide spiritual revolution!
