To kick off 2026 and the second season of “The Spiritual Life" podcast, host James Martin, S.J., welcomes Trappist monk, poet and photographer, Br. Paul Quenon, to do a "spiritual reset." Br. Paul entered the Trappists in 1958 at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, where Thomas Merton was his novice master. Together they discuss:
00:00 Who is Br. Paul Quenon?
2:30 Doing a spiritual reset
8:00 How Br. Paul became a monk
13:55 Living with Thomas Merton
18:34 How to do a "spiritual reset"
24:27 Making sense out of tragedy
28:47 Does our hubris anger God?
34:31 Should I give all my possessions away?
38:07 How to focus less on yourself during prayer
43:00 Building a personal relationship with God
Among the good ideas is to not make New Years resolutions.
To encourage you to listen, James Martin drives right wingers nuts on a regular basis, probably at least as much as the late Fr. Richard McBrien did
