When Greg Pierce, president of ACTA Publications in Chicago, met Benedictine Sr. Suzanne Zuercher in 2013, Sister told him "God wants you to publish my book."

Pierce will discuss Sr. Suzanne's book, "The Ground of Love and Truth," about how Trappist monk and author Thomas Merton grappled with the questions of personal integrity and vocational commitment, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, at the Rectory Assembly of Immaculate Conception Parish, 7211 W. Talcott, Chicago.

The talk is sponsored by the Chicago Chapter of the Merton Society.

Sr. Suzanne, who frequently spoke on Merton to the Chicago Chapter, passed away June 14, shortly after her book was published by Pierce, and chapter members will honor her memory.

Admission is free; refreshments will be offered. For more information call Mike Brennan evenings at 773-685-4736.
