Thomas Merton Icon Place Published: Albuquerque
Publisher
Natural Bridges
Notes
Folded greeting card in envelope. The image on the cover of this item is taken from an original painting by Br. Robert Lentz, Franciscan Friar whose innovative icons are known around the world. He is a member of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Both Buddhist and Christian symbolism are combined in this icon, to express the way Merton reconciled the two spiritual traditions in his own life. His raised right hand represents "fear not", and his left calls upon the earth to bear witness that he has overcome temptation. The Greek inscription by his head reads "Holy Thomas." He wears the Cistercian cowl.

Edition
First hard cover printing. Short Title: Figures for an Apocalypse / signed
Notes
Black cloth and dust jacket; signed and inscribed by Merton, "In Corde Jesu, F.M. Louis OCR". Merton signed some of his books with his Monastic name "Louis" and also used the blessing "In Corde Jesu" (In the heart of Jesus) and "OCR" (Order of Cistercians - reformed - research). He used a similar method of signing, for example, in the book, "Thomas Merton and James Laughlin - Selected Letters" (see page 38). A rare and interesting find, coming originally from the significant collection of a Merton collector.
