Abbey of Gethsemani Fr Matthew Kelty on Thomas Merton part 2

[@ZeniaLarsen]

I am very grateful that his tapes got out to us in the world. I so enjoy listening to him. The levity in his tone no matter how deep the subject is, and how he easily flows back and forth between profound spiritual insights and goofy jokes - that in itself carries af message of the spirit. Thank you for these videos, too :)

RIP Fr. Matthew. I've loved your talks.

Thank you, Fr. Both parts of your talk are very good. I was given SSM when I was 16. I am now 68. I am aware of Fr. Louis' faults and failings. But he's been a part of my life, all my life.

He comments on white and brown men being seperate. I am wondering whether that was just how they preferred it or was it mandatory, such as actual segregation? although he did not use the word "segregation"

[@jackparker8759]

That distinction refers to the division between choir monks (who wore white, prayed more, and were priests or studying to become priests) and lay brothers (who wore brown and did more labor). The distinction was abolished in almost all monasteries in the 1960s.
