Traveling Your Road to Joy

These booklets provide the basis for small-group dialogue, leading participants progressively deeper into spiritual reflection and contemplative living. Each contains an introduction with a brief biography of Thomas Merton and information on how to use the booklet. Eight weekly sessions each include an opening Psalm reading, an introduction to the session theme, readings from Merton and one other spiritual writer, and questions for contemplative dialogue. Sessions are designed to last between ninety minutes and two hours with weekly themes becoming progressively more probing.
