My Mystical Retreat with Tom Merton
a.
The author described her experience of being contacted by and becoming a channel in 1999, for the spirit of a deceased American Trappist monk named Thomas Merton.  He became her guide and spiritual teacher.    

She also described her extraordinary experience of becoming a witness for the mystical Lord Jesus and his companion Thomas Merton when they made their appearances visible to her at the beginning of the blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist service that was held in the sacred chapel at Our Lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky. Their divine presence, on the morning of December 10, 1999, was in recognition of and to celebrate the 30th anniversary date of Thomas Merton’s death. Jesus' main divine message was that He will be with us until the end of the Age of Pisces, and He plans to continue to be with us within the coming Age of Aquarius. Jesus says, “Remember, I am always with you, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20.  

The book contains a significant story about the author’s relationship with American spiritual master Tom Sawyer who knew about the future divine event, and had an affinity with Tom Merton's spirituality. Another significant divine event during the latter part of the twentieth century happened when Tom Sawyer became the first human being in history to get “kicked out” of heaven after 15 minutes of clinical death. In 1990, during his second near death experience, God sent him back a second time into his physical body with the reserved personality and ID of Tom Sawyer to complete a second commission. 

​American Catholic Trappist monk Thomas Merton was a world-famous writer, poet, mystic and prophet. His autobiography The Seven Story Mountain book became a best seller.
