Otec Richard vypr\u00e1v\u00ed, jak se sezn\u00e1mil s d\u00edlem Thomase Mertona (1915\u20131968):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Merton je pro m\u011b hlavn\u00edm u\u010ditelem a inspirac\u00ed u\u017e od doby, kdy jsem jako teenager \u010detl jeho knihu Znamen\u00ed Jon\u00e1\u0161e.

Pr\u00e1v\u011b Merton v 50. a 60. letech znovu zavedl k\u0159es\u0165anskou kontemplativn\u00ed tradici do z\u00e1padn\u00ed c\u00edrkve. D\u00edky kontemplativn\u00edmu \u017eivotu rostla v Mertonovi l\u00e1ska k Bohu, ke v\u0161em Bo\u017e\u00edm d\u011btem i ke stvo\u0159en\u00ed \u2013 a to natolik, \u017ee se zav\u00e1zal d\u011blat v\u0161e, co bylo v jeho sil\u00e1ch, pro spole\u010dn\u00e9 dobro. Uprost\u0159ed spole\u010densk\u00fdch ot\u0159es\u016f 60. let mu nesta\u010dilo pouze se modlit. V\u011bnoval se tak\u00e9 \u010dinu \u2013 psan\u00ed, v\u00fduce a spolupr\u00e1ci s ostatn\u00edmi \u2013, a\u010dkoli nikdy neztratil svou hlubokou touhu po samot\u011b a kontemplaci.
