The variety of proposals for Christian life can be challenging to discern what constitutes the abundant life Jesus promised. To live this daily, a spirituality that contemplates and acts is necessary, one that strives to climb God s mountain attracted by grace but also descends courageously, moved by compassion. This process of spiritual growth and connection with the divine begins with a fundamental connection to God, which is accessible to all who seek Him in their own language, through metaphorical windows, true interfaces of the transcendent, and existentially privileged places where contemplation becomes more perceptible. Great figures in the history of Christian mysticism have indicated a process to be traversed. Thus, the vocation of a disciple of Christ is to become a better human, modeling their master. This process occurs in the Holy Spirit, and through the Scriptures, a source of happiness for the being, where Thomas Merton finds a living You. He serves as a practical example through his life and work to discern how Jesus has been perceived and experienced in the experiences and research on this life. He constantly sought God s will without distancing himself from human reality, always open to changes. His encounters and dialogues served as catalysts for personal transformation, whether in the context of relationships with peers, disciples, literature, or travel. His influences guided him toward a profound appreciation for nature, a deeper examination of his inner self, and ultimately, the discovery of God, the Supreme Good, and the ultimate happiness derived from Him. An abundant life fosters a reality that integrates the conception of a spiritually, psychologically heathy, ecologically holistic, and performative.
