This is wonderful! I went to Mass in Corpus Christie a few years ago and had the same sense of awe that Fr. Jim Martin had about Merton’s presence there.
Wonderful! Father Jim, you did it again. We can make pilgrimages all over the world, but here we have something right in our backyard. Thank you.
