Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
This recording by Anna Roberts When Knights Were Bold by Eva March Tappan Chapter 9 Hermits, Friars, and Missionaries When a hermit appears in a romance, he is generally described as an old man with picturesque gray beard and hair and either a long gray cloak or a scanty robe of sackcloth.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
He has had wild adventures in his youth, has perhaps done some deeds of violence to which he occasionally refers darkly, but now he keeps lonely vigils, he flogs himself with briars, and wears a hair shirt by way of atoning for his sins.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
He omits most of his meals, and when he does deign to eat, his food consists of a dry crust, a handful of cress, and a cup of water.

Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
The members of this third order might remain in the world, but they were to dress simply, to abstain from worldly amusements, to bear no arms save in defense of their country or the church, and to pay strict attention to the required fasts and times of special devotion.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
The dress of the Minorites varied somewhat in different countries.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
In England, they wore gray, and therefore in that country they were often called the Gray Friars.
Sarah JenningsNARRATOR
The Dominicans were founded by St. Dominic of Spain, and from the start this order was made up of men of learning.
Stephen CopelandHOST
Of course, we're talking about Thomas Merton.
Stephen CopelandHOST
We discuss Merton's surprising path that led him deep into the Franciscan tradition, as well as the fascinating details as to why he became a Trappist monk and not a Franciscan friar.
Stephen CopelandHOST
Dan also unpacks how John Dunst Scotus's idea of particularity shaped Merton's famous teaching about the true self and the false self, and he also delves into how Scotus and St. Bonaventure both informed Merton's expansive Christology.
Stephen CopelandHOST
We discuss how a life grounded in contemplation freed Merton for prophetic engagement in the world, inter-religious dialogue, and exploring some of the most pressing social questions of his time.

Daniel P. HoranGUEST

Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Then the jesting scoffer began to play the scoffer indeed, and verily he was good at that, for he could play a part in that play no man better.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
'Patient yourself, good Master Friar,' quoth he, 'and be not angry, for Scripture saith, 'In your patience you shall save your souls.' Then the friar, for I will rehearse his own very words, 'No, gallows wretch, I am not angry,' quoth he, 'or at the least wise I do not sin, for the psalmist saith, 'Be you angry and sin not.' Then the cardinal spake gently to the friar and desired him to quiet himself.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
"No, my lord," quoth he, "I speak not but of a good zeal as I ought, for holy men had a good zeal.
Ruth GoldingNARRATOR
Wherefore it is said, 'The zeal of thy house hath eaten me.' And it is sung in the church, 'The scorners of Heliseus, whilst he went up into the house of God, felt the zeal of the bald, as peradventure this scorning villain ribald shall feel.'" "You do it," quoth the cardinal, "perchance of a good mind and affection.

I have this one reminder of an individual on my desk every time.
David WalesNARRATOR
Master took the piece of parchment and managed to make out a few words.
David WalesNARRATOR
They were, "I am sure that Ravelstok lies in the cold Friar's Well with the dead nigger servant we placed there.
David WalesNARRATOR
I would not go near that spot for my life.
David WalesNARRATOR
Heaven grant it may not come for me.
David WalesNARRATOR
I must leave the place." That was all he could decipher on the burnt paper.
David WalesNARRATOR
"We must explore that Friar's Well," evidently that is its name, "tomorrow morning," said our master.
David WalesNARRATOR
We were all up at dawn and got all the men available to cut down the shrubs, bushes, and undergrowth round the well, the growth of ages.
David WalesNARRATOR
When the well was exposed, it looked very like the Holy Well at St. Andrews, only it had been very finely carved and ornamented at one time.
CatherineNARRATOR
This work may be counted as one of the best of modern times, since even as a lively and wholly natural gladness is seen in the old woman and a divine beauty in the Madonna, so the figure of the infant Christ is so well wrought that no other was ever executed with such delicacy and perfection.
CatherineNARRATOR
Wherefore it well deserved that for many years a succession of sonnets and various other learned compositions should be attached to it, of which the friars of that place have a bookful which I myself have seen, to my no little marvel.
CatherineNARRATOR
And in truth the world was right in doing this, for the reason that the work can never be praised enough.
CatherineNARRATOR
The fame of Andrea having thereby grown greater, Leo X., who had resolved that the adornment with wrought marble of the chamber of the Madonna in Santa Maria at Loreto should be carried out according to the beginning made by Bramante, ordained that Andrea should bring that work to completion.
8 MINS LATER
CatherineNARRATOR
While Andrea was at work on the aforesaid chapel of the Virgin, there were built the fortifications of Loreto and other works, which were highly extolled by the all-conquering Signor Giovanni de' Medici, with whom Andrea had a very straight friendship, having become first acquainted with him in Rome.
CatherineNARRATOR
Having four months of holiday in the year for repose while he was working at Loreto, he used to spend that time in agriculture at his native place of Monte San Savino, enjoying meanwhile a most tranquil rest with his relatives and friends.
CatherineNARRATOR
Living thus at the Monte during the summer, he built there a commodious house for himself and bought much property, and for the friars of Sant'Agostino in that place he had a cloister made, which, although small, is very well designed, but also out of the square, since those fathers insisted on having it built over the old walls.
CatherineNARRATOR
Andrea, however, made the interior rectangular by increasing the thickness of the pilasters at the corners, in order to change it from an ill-proportioned structure into one with good and true measurements.
