When he entered Gethsemani Abbey in 1941, Merton embraced a hidden life . By the time he died nearly thirty years later, he was well known as `a witness to life', a friend of people around the world, and a keen observer of both church and society. Those who knew him and who have studied his published works reflect here on his influence on Church and society.
Patrick Hart, OCSO, (1925-2019), a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, entered the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1951 and served as secretary to Thomas Merton during the last year of his life. He edited many books by and about Thomas Merton during the thirty-eight years since the latter's death on December 10, 1968. He had served on the board of directors for Cistercian Publications for the past thirty years.
