My uncle was a Trappist monk and one of the fondest memories of my life was when my family and I visited him in his monastery in Spain. I must have been not older than five. I remember the solemn and beautiful gregorian chants and the monks prostrated on the floor in prayer. Being only five, I had the privilege of visiting the cloistered area of the monastery by my uncle's hand. I dare to say, probably the only woman who ever entered it to this day!! I can describe every room as if I was there right now. I was too young to know it at the time, but the feeling of having been in a piece of Heaven on Earth, as I can discern it today, was very real. What an incredibly privileged call from God, is the life of these men.
So glad you got to visit. I always heard it was adios forever when it comes to anything on the outside - especially for Trappists. Reckon it is different for each order. :-) Blessings, everyone.
Beautiful .... When I was younger and living in Minnesota, I would go there once or twice each year - for many years. I was never drawn to that life, but I was drawn to enjoy the richness of life they shared with their guests. Sadly, as I watch "churches" rise throughout the country, focused on prosperity and fundamentalism, I ache what is now so often overlooked - the live of prayer, of work for your keep, and of generosity - letting all who come there to be welcomed as Christ. What a gift to the world and to humanity these silent protesters are - quietly voicing the value of a heart at one with God, and celebrating the constant invitation of unconditional love. Thank you my hidden friends. May the road rise to me you, the sun shine on your face, and your hearts filled full as you rest in the palm of God. Be well, in your well spent life ....
As I watch the many TH-cam videos about contemplative life, I marvel at the uniqueness of each community. Though all have pretty much the same goal as the object of the vocation, like the individuals who are the souls in formation, each has a God given spark within them which is unique. God bless all monastics and their diverse communities worldwide.
I purchased from them very often and love what I get. I open each thing with a prayer. I am Eastern Orthodox but that doesn't matter when it comes to faith in God. You either have it deeply or you don't. I do!
Fantastic documentary. As a former Friar I still relish the silence when you can start listening to God, listening to others, and listening with the ear of your heart to your most deepest self.
A wonderful example of the Communion of Saints, the Church Militant! How comforting to know that these men are praying for us, day and night, especially during these difficult times of COVID-19
There is a Trappist monastery near where I grew up in Northern California and they produce amazing wines. You are prayer warriors for the Church and a treasure.
This was so uplifting. I’m watching it from Australia in the middle of the Carona Virus Pandemic. It has brought peace to my heart and clarity to my mind. Thank you. PS I have visited Mount Mellary in Ireland a number of times as a child in Ireland and also as an adult two years ago. God bless you to each dear Monk and THANK YOU for your life of love.
What a gift this has been. I lived close to the Benedictine Abbey in Mission BC Canada. I frequently attended mass there and one retreat. The coffins are a great spiritual gift and knowing we are being prayed for by these holy men brings me such splice. Be well all those who watch this and embrace its call to Holy Simplicity. Our lives in the world can embrace parts of the Rule of St Benedict.
I love watching this and I have watched it many times. It makes me a little sad to think that I missed the boat and ended up in this chaotic life in which I am forced to contend with so many distractions and difficulties. I long for a peaceful contemplative like without constant interruption. But I am grateful to these men and their constant prayer. As well as this video. It is a blessing.
What a beautiful video. I'm watching this in early 2021 while we are still in the midst of the virus pandemic in the USA, really the whole world. If the people who had lost their loved ones during this time could think of them as treasures being put in to a treasure chest for the Lord, what a wonderful comfort that would be.
Paddy hi . myself and my wife go to mellery co Waterford in ireland regularly, and walk around the grounds . It's so peaceful there . The monk's are so kind and helpful, they love the chat . They work the land as well . The grow what they want to eat . They milk cows grow vegetables. Unfortunately there numbers are getting smaller and smaller all the time . I'm from Ireland myself(. Love your comment by the way)
This is such a moving video. Thanks to our monks for their life of love and prayer. Understanding the forest and the stability of community life, is so powerful in this video.
I've been here many times on Retreat, a Wonderful place for Healing, good food too, I love Father Xavier, (he was there in the 1984,) and I like the Gregarian Chants at 4 A.M.
Wow, i feel so blessed just for having watched this video. It encourages me to continue to seek moments of prayer throughout the day with an alternating rhythm of labor and community life. Many Thanks & Blessings:-) These monks are so holy and gentle.
I plan to purchase caskets from them when the time comes for the future. The caskets are beautiful ; they also bless the caskets and so this provides an additional blessing for the dead (IMHO). BTW, the abbey is a magnificent building; the construction must have taken some while !
Thank you so very much for sharing this amazing history and the amazing men of like mind, that love God the earth and Our future in it. You have blessed all that fall upon this video by divine intervention. I needed so very much to find a kind heart this day. Thank you again. May God Bless You And All You Love. A fellow citizen of Iowa.
Easter Joy and Thanksgiving to you brothers in Jesus Christ... I hope to have the blessing of your loving work to surround me one day until the day of rising with my bothers and sisters in Christ.
These men are wonderful in surrendering their lives to God, especially those who gave up sucessful professional careers. As they age, who provides nursing care for these men? Do they celebrate each others birthdays, and do they have contact with their families? Thank you to the brother who described his prayer life for others.
I have spent time at this monastery - such a wonderful blessing - beautiful experiences - it's been many years but I still remember and long to be there again - so much peace, joy and love are present ❤
I am Irish imagine a few monks wented to America and survived in a ship from to get away from the famine and create a beautiful place in America 900 years ago a few Irish monks god bless them and bless you all Anna families that we have peace I might go forgive me me and my sins and I'm sorry for a lot of things I've done and my past and present please grant me the serenity to accept the things I can change and the wisdom to know the difference amen
Wonderful! Thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of ALL of us peoples on earth. Your prayers are so important is these sad times. Prayers from The Great South Land; Land of The Holy Spirit. 19/04/2020: MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL, especially with many holy men to augment your ranks.
I’m watching this at 3am in Scotland with severe mental health problems and thinking would I be missed if this will be my last day on earth so I’m watching to see if I can build the courage I need to get me through this spell with the help of the lord god 🙏🙏🙏
You have made yourself know to us here. YOU WILL BE MISSED. Please before deciding your own fate. Go to a parish. Or if nearby you find a Monastery of such. Remember , Life in community outside is not easy and many factors make us feel unhappy and even depressed. Seek help from those who have faith and then move forward JIM. I pray for you to our God and i ask all here who read your message to Pray for you.
Let us pray that our Church unites once again after 1500 years. Things take a very long time and we have just begun speaking at the church level so I hope that one day there is one church again. I don't need any blasting of the Pope which I have seen before that isn't Christian and it's not love it is spewing hatred!
In 2009 there were 40 monks here. In 2023, only 18 on the books and only 11 actually living there. Virtually all Catholic religious communities have been at least halved since Vatican 2. Now quite the "springtime" it was advertised as.
The tree expert! WOW GOD BLESS YOU if you can see this somehow..... I wonder how old you are now..... & was the project completed?, I love it when yuh said “but unfortunately I’m not a tree.....} 😢
CABJ Palacios Don't worry...pursue your call from God. Really pray & listen to God. Gain strength and go there and speak your truth. You want to join then but you feel sick. Keep praying & ask what he wants of you. Bless you tòo
@CABJ Palacios I'm in the same situation! Exactly! I spoke to a Nun once and as soon as I told her about a few of my issues, she couldn't get me out of her office fast enuf. As if! But the Call doesn't go away. Ever. And the longer it goes unanswered, the sicker I become.
While Jesus says, how you treat the least among you is how you treat me", how is a lifetime of isolation and not a life of service regarded as the path to Him?
Paul D incorrect. “ because the oldest are the benedictines”. This is not correct. The monastery of monte cassino was founded by benedict in 529, st Anthony of the desert founded his order in the 4th century.
Archaeology magazine suggests that the Dura-Europos Catholic church in Syria is the oldest surviving church building in the world or According to the Catholic Encyclopedia the Cenacle (the site of the Last Supper) in Jerusalem was the "first Catholic church" th-cam.com/video/UulusbcS8V0/w-d-xo.html
I have visited a Trappist monastery in Palestine (Latroun) in the plain between Jerusalem and Yafa. It was founded in the late nineteenth century. It was in the midst of three villages that ere demolished by the Israelis in 1967 and their inhabitants were ethnic cleansed.
I find the lifestyle very attractive, but having been baptised a Catholic as an infant, and not raised in a religious family, I walked other paths, faithful and not. I find it difficult to accept the teachings of the Church, and it would be hard to submit to the faith part of that life.
Hope you come back to see these words. You seem like a person searching for truth and meaning. There are many ways, but one concrete way is to start with the Gospel of John and just read a chapter a week, reflecting on a a sentence or two at a time when you find time. Meet who the Lord is and see what this kingdom is about. Don't worry about what you can do or can't do-- just one chapter at a time. We'll be praying for your search. Peace
Too good for this world. At least God himself never thought he was too good for his own creation and entered it himself in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. And the early disciples were never monks they just got on with living in this messy troubled world.
Pray all live in Gods Divine union with God thanksgiving fiat fiat fiat so nice to pray pray pray so many holy men and women monks thank you God fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤😢😢😢 repentence reparation for sins contrition forgiving one another l love God and want to serve him and love one another and serve God fiat ❤❤❤
Any form of a contemplative lifestyle is soothing to the one who seeks the truth. It is important to keep in mind that there is a fundamental difference between a seeker of the truth and a holy man. To me these monks are seekers of the truth, honest seekers for sure, but they are not holy men. A holy man is somebody who has become whole, i.e. one with God. When these monks talk about living in unity with God they are referring to a concept in their mind and not to an actual fact. To be in unity with God one has to overcome ones ego and transcend ones body-identity. No ego can ever be in unity with God. When the monk blesses the coffin, saying that the deceased will rest in it like in a cradle, he claims that he himself and every human being is to be understood as a body. This, I am afraid to say, is in total contradiction to the teachings of Christ who said "let the dead bury their dead, but you follow me". Therefore, respect to all seekers of the truth as long as they accept the fact that they do not yet know the truth so that they may not become victims of their own hypocricy.
Ah yes "orthodox". A word that means "Im right and you're wrong ". The Imperial Church with all its pomp and power is dead. It might have had it's purpose in the past, but it is a detriment to us now. It led to a a great deal of sin, and the world is justifiably holding us to account for those sins. We are called to a simpler purer expression now.
@@alhilford2345 No, Anglican. And I don't accept that any church can call itself the "True Church". It's laughable to see pompous prelates prancing about in their cappa magnas, or their rochets and gaitors, or phelonions and crowns (crowns!) trying to relive a golden Imperial past. I don't see how anyone can look back at the last 2000 years and think that any of the five traditional Patriarchates still deserves to consider itself a true representation of the Gospel. I reject that sola scriptura ideas of extreme Protestantism. The churches that came out of the Reformation, like us, the Lutherans, the Old Catholics, etc. tried to return to something purer, but it was too late. Bit I still think the idea of "no bishops, no Church" is foundational. What we're left with is a group of churches that still hold to the three fold order of ministry, the concept of the Church as a community, doctrines like the Incarnation, the Communion of Saints, Iconodulia, etc. And somewhere amongst that mess is the Gospel. I believe our mission now is to abandon the idea of a Church with Imperial power, repent of the wrongs, and humbly seek to strip the catholic faith of its power lust, Erastianism, and longing for an Imperial past, and witness to the transformative power of the Incarnation.
35 God cannot recognize the work and the effort of him whom He has not sent. And if someone follows such a man, it is for his loss. [Kc.3v39-40] [Kc.15v4] [Kc.28v13-14] [Kc.115v21] [Kc.118v33-36] 36 When I condemn all these churches including the Branhamists, it is the Word of the prophet, it is the "Thus saith the Lord" and I do not doubt It at all. You see? And I want to go further to say that God gives the revelation from Heaven and comes down on earth to approve the fulfillment of that revelation… The Bible says "... And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering; and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look...". You see? There is, on the one hand, the person and on the other hand, the offering of that person. God approved Abel in his mind before the foundation of the world, that is why He approved him and He had to accept the offering that He took care to reveal to him in the first place. [Ed: The congregation says "Amen!]. God had revealed to Abel the offering that he had to give. If God can approve something good that does not come from Him, then demons would go ahead of us because they know what is good. It is not a question of fasting and fasting, of working for God like an elephant, but everything depends on God's sovereignty. Before the foundation of the world, Abel had been approved, then in the Garden of Eden, him and his offering were approved. 37 In the 16th century, when Martin Luther was fighting Catholicism, his friend Erasmus abandoned him, judging the sermons of Martin Luther "too insulting and provocative" but Martin Luther persevered because he considered the work of God more precious than his blood and so it is today. www.philippekacou.org
I noticed that the great majority of the monks are elderly. This is very typical of the novus ordo monasteries, which are dying out, especially in Europe, where you can find novus ordo monasteries with only five monks or even worse. Compare that with the Traditional Latin Rite which is rapidly growing, breaming with tons of young vocations like the FSSP, ICKSP, Benedictines of Clear Creek, etc. Most of the millennials that are attracted to monastic life or the priesthood, choose by far the Traditional Latin Rite over the novus ordo. The video claims that this monastery follows the rule of Saint Benedict. Saint Benedict would be horrified to see the Holy Sacrifice offered in the vernacular and with the priest giving his back to the Tabernacle, or to recite the Office in the vernacular.
I won't argue with any of your other points as I'm Orthodox, but I was an Eastern Catholic at one point. But I will argue this, the tradition of the Church was to offer the liturgies in the vernacular. St. Benedict would be just fine with it offered in English. In fact, as his rule developed throughout the year, you'd see his Latin go from Traditional to Vulgar Latin, as vulgar was becoming the norm. So, you're wrong in that part.
Its not deforestation, it's timber management, did you watch it? They show you out in the woods, where they plant trees, and all the varied ages of trees, and diverse species of trees, 1, 300 acres it's not deforestation
from 17:00 the Monk 'forgets' one of the most Holiness lines of the Mass! Then at 17:30 we are told that "some people are workaholics" because they have to work an 8+ hour day !! Gee, must be a hard life for you Monks....
There's a monk whose voice soars above the others and a little off pitch. As in any community of humans, there are those who some others might find deficient in some way, large or small. Being in community means finding a way to accept that person fully including their foibles, and learn to love them as much as anyone else. And the foible could turn out to be something else: something odd about the acoustics, not one monk's voice, for instance.
Isn't modern concelebration of Mass a sloppy banality! They have certainly cleansed their church of a sanctuary...the chant in English is just ugly. Google what the chapel looked like before they wreckovated!
@Thomase Synek : Right. Search through the Missal, the Catechism, the Vatican II Documents, the Code of Canon Law, and you will not find the words ROMAN CATHOLIC! ! "Roman Catholic", or "Papist", was originally an insulting, derogatory term, used to identify the true Catholics who refused to accept Henry VIII and Elizabeth I with their new "English Catholic" ( Anglican ) religion. We are Catholics, of the Latin Rite.

This community clearly needs many more young people.
Pray for just that and also talk about it often. It may just plant a seed that God can nurture.
Young are scared in case…..😂
Fantastic documentary. As a former Friar I still relish the silence when you can start listening to God, listening to others, and listening with the ear of your heart to your most deepest self.
What made you decide to leave the monastery? And do you recommend the Oblate / Lay Franciscan / Third Order?

the future of the church is in the monasteries......google THE BRIEF RULE OF SAINT ROMUALD and make it your "default setting."
1054 Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic broke from each there, so this was founded not so may years later.
In 2009 there were 40 monks here. In 2023, only 18 on the books and only 11 actually living there. Virtually all Catholic religious communities have been at least halved since Vatican 2. Now quite the "springtime" it was advertised as.
do they have any trappist hymn books for chanting in English like they do here

wow impress .. they we live only once .. born live die..
"The oldest religious order" - not exactly, because the oldest are the Benedictines, the Trappists being a reformed outreach of the former.
Actually the oldest monastic orders are greek orthodox. They emerged in the desert of egypt. I believe 4th century.
"Part of one of the oldest religious orders in the Catholic Church" is what he actually said. This statement is true.
Paul D incorrect. “ because the oldest are the benedictines”. This is not correct. The monastery of monte cassino was founded by benedict in 529, st Anthony of the desert founded his order in the 4th century.
even Older are the Orthodox monks and sisters - since the time of St Anthony the Great from Egypt - the Father of Monasticism :)
Archaeology magazine suggests that the Dura-Europos Catholic church in Syria is the oldest surviving church building in the world or According to the Catholic Encyclopedia the Cenacle (the site of the Last Supper) in Jerusalem was the "first Catholic church" th-cam.com/video/UulusbcS8V0/w-d-xo.html
I have visited a Trappist monastery in Palestine (Latroun) in the plain between Jerusalem and Yafa. It was founded in the late nineteenth century. It was in the midst of three villages that ere demolished by the Israelis in 1967 and their inhabitants were ethnic cleansed.
Forgive the Israelis and you will find the Trappist monastery.
I find the lifestyle very attractive, but having been baptised a Catholic as an infant, and not raised in a religious family, I walked other paths, faithful and not. I find it difficult to accept the teachings of the Church, and it would be hard to submit to the faith part of that life.
Hope you come back to see these words. You seem like a person searching for truth and meaning. There are many ways, but one concrete way is to start with the Gospel of John and just read a chapter a week, reflecting on a a sentence or two at a time when you find time. Meet who the Lord is and see what this kingdom is about. Don't worry about what you can do or can't do-- just one chapter at a time. We'll be praying for your search. Peace
May the Holy Spirit lead you to the whole truth!!!

A MINOR
Too good for this world. At least God himself never thought he was too good for his own creation and entered it himself in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. And the early disciples were never monks they just got on with living in this messy troubled world.
WHERE IS THIS PLACE ????
The narrator's voice sounds as if it belongs to Drew Mariani of Relevant Radio.
Pray for the Cause of Our Lady Of America and Sor Maria de Jesus Of Agreda like Our Lady of Assumption and St Joan Of Arch was for France
Pray all live in Gods Divine union with God thanksgiving fiat fiat fiat so nice to pray pray pray so many holy men and women monks thank you God fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤😢😢😢 repentence reparation for sins contrition forgiving one another l love God and want to serve him and love one another and serve God fiat ❤❤❤

No, they do not take a vow of silence
Where is the High Altar? All I can see is a Cranmerian table!
Please 🥺🙏 help me,pray for me,i need my this type of life please 🥺🙏 pray for me.
Who takes care of the elderly and bed-ridden???
Now 5 years later, how many members do they have ..... 🕯🕯🕯
Any form of a contemplative lifestyle is soothing to the one who seeks the truth. It is important to keep in mind that there is a fundamental difference between a seeker of the truth and a holy man. To me these monks are seekers of the truth, honest seekers for sure, but they are not holy men. A holy man is somebody who has become whole, i.e. one with God. When these monks talk about living in unity with God they are referring to a concept in their mind and not to an actual fact. To be in unity with God one has to overcome ones ego and transcend ones body-identity. No ego can ever be in unity with God. When the monk blesses the coffin, saying that the deceased will rest in it like in a cradle, he claims that he himself and every human being is to be understood as a body. This, I am afraid to say, is in total contradiction to the teachings of Christ who said "let the dead bury their dead, but you follow me". Therefore, respect to all seekers of the truth as long as they accept the fact that they do not yet know the truth so that they may not become victims of their own hypocricy.
You can always tell how orthodox a religious order is by the way they offer their Liturgy.Plain vestments,no Latin,ugly chalices is a dead giveaway.
Ah yes "orthodox". A word that means "Im right and you're wrong ". The Imperial Church with all its pomp and power is dead. It might have had it's purpose in the past, but it is a detriment to us now. It led to a a great deal of sin, and the world is justifiably holding us to account for those sins. We are called to a simpler purer expression now.
@@wfcoaker1398 :
You're not Catholic, are you?
Just someone who won't accept the true Church.
@@alhilford2345 No, Anglican. And I don't accept that any church can call itself the "True Church". It's laughable to see pompous prelates prancing about in their cappa magnas, or their rochets and gaitors, or phelonions and crowns (crowns!) trying to relive a golden Imperial past. I don't see how anyone can look back at the last 2000 years and think that any of the five traditional Patriarchates still deserves to consider itself a true representation of the Gospel.
I reject that sola scriptura ideas of extreme Protestantism. The churches that came out of the Reformation, like us, the Lutherans, the Old Catholics, etc. tried to return to something purer, but it was too late. Bit I still think the idea of "no bishops, no Church" is foundational. What we're left with is a group of churches that still hold to the three fold order of ministry, the concept of the Church as a community, doctrines like the Incarnation, the Communion of Saints, Iconodulia, etc. And somewhere amongst that mess is the Gospel. I believe our mission now is to abandon the idea of a Church with Imperial power, repent of the wrongs, and humbly seek to strip the catholic faith of its power lust, Erastianism, and longing for an Imperial past, and witness to the transformative power of the Incarnation.
My hypocrisy as a Catholic distances my family and friends from God. I block God's radiance! Forgive me brothers.
I missed my calling in life
Me too, but I try to do it on my own
3:30
Benedictus Deus. Benedictus, Qui Venit in Nomine Domini
35 God cannot recognize the work and the effort of him whom He has not sent. And if someone follows such a man, it is for his loss. [Kc.3v39-40] [Kc.15v4] [Kc.28v13-14] [Kc.115v21] [Kc.118v33-36]
36 When I condemn all these churches including the Branhamists, it is the Word of the prophet, it is the "Thus saith the Lord" and I do not doubt It at all. You see? And I want to go further to say that God gives the revelation from Heaven and comes down on earth to approve the fulfillment of that revelation… The Bible says "... And Jehovah looked upon Abel, and on his offering; and upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look...". You see? There is, on the one hand, the person and on the other hand, the offering of that person. God approved Abel in his mind before the foundation of the world, that is why He approved him and He had to accept the offering that He took care to reveal to him in the first place. [Ed: The congregation says "Amen!]. God had revealed to Abel the offering that he had to give. If God can approve something good that does not come from Him, then demons would go ahead of us because they know what is good. It is not a question of fasting and fasting, of working for God like an elephant, but everything depends on God's sovereignty. Before the foundation of the world, Abel had been approved, then in the Garden of Eden, him and his offering were approved.
37 In the 16th century, when Martin Luther was fighting Catholicism, his friend Erasmus abandoned him, judging the sermons of Martin Luther "too insulting and provocative" but Martin Luther persevered because he considered the work of God more precious than his blood and so it is today.

Last comment on this video.. Why does the narrator sound like the guy from those 1950's nuclear bomb test videos?
Any young monks? Looks like a monastic nursing home, not that's a bad thing.
Demand mass australlia
I noticed that the great majority of the monks are elderly. This is very typical of the novus ordo monasteries, which are dying out, especially in Europe, where you can find novus ordo monasteries with only five monks or even worse. Compare that with the Traditional Latin Rite which is rapidly growing, breaming with tons of young vocations like the FSSP, ICKSP, Benedictines of Clear Creek, etc. Most of the millennials that are attracted to monastic life or the priesthood, choose by far the Traditional Latin Rite over the novus ordo. The video claims that this monastery follows the rule of Saint Benedict. Saint Benedict would be horrified to see the Holy Sacrifice offered in the vernacular and with the priest giving his back to the Tabernacle, or to recite the Office in the vernacular.
St Benedict, 5th century? Latin was the vernacular, no?
I won't argue with any of your other points as I'm Orthodox, but I was an Eastern Catholic at one point.
But I will argue this, the tradition of the Church was to offer the liturgies in the vernacular. St. Benedict would be just fine with it offered in English. In fact, as his rule developed throughout the year, you'd see his Latin go from Traditional to Vulgar Latin, as vulgar was becoming the norm. So, you're wrong in that part.

Everything looks perfect but I am shedding tears to see deforestation
Its not deforestation, it's timber management, did you watch it? They show you out in the woods, where they plant trees, and all the varied ages of trees, and diverse species of trees, 1, 300 acres it's not deforestation
RyngKat bad Phi Together With You, Is there any wood in your home?, Oh! Deforestation
If you are interested in knowing better monastic life, look also this beautiful documentary:
th-cam.com/video/BekG_dZBtSE/w-d-xo.html
from 17:00 the Monk 'forgets' one of the most Holiness lines of the Mass! Then at 17:30 we are told that "some people are workaholics" because they have to work an 8+ hour day !! Gee, must be a hard life for you Monks....
Let's not judge others dear brother.
There's a monk whose voice soars above the others and a little off pitch. As in any community of humans, there are those who some others might find deficient in some way, large or small. Being in community means finding a way to accept that person fully including their foibles, and learn to love them as much as anyone else. And the foible could turn out to be something else: something odd about the acoustics, not one monk's voice, for instance.
@Ñ"dsister act
Robert the robot commentary! Why?
Isn't modern concelebration of Mass a sloppy banality! They have certainly cleansed their church of a sanctuary...the chant in English is just ugly. Google what the chapel looked like before they wreckovated!
The monks make luxury expensive caskets
FRANZISKUS WAS LAY DOWN NAKED
LAZERUS WAS BURRIED IN A CLOTH
JESUS WAS BURRIED IN A CLOTH
What mean this?
keep thinking, you clown
I was there as an observer. The coffins are inexpensive. They also provide free coffins for children.
They also bury themselves without a coffin
Why do Americans say Roman Catholic when the correct word is Catholic?
@Thomase Synek :
Right.
Search through the Missal, the Catechism, the Vatican II Documents, the Code of Canon Law, and you will not find the words ROMAN CATHOLIC! !
"Roman Catholic", or "Papist", was originally an insulting, derogatory term, used to identify the true Catholics who refused to accept Henry VIII and Elizabeth I with their new "English Catholic" ( Anglican ) religion.
We are Catholics, of the Latin Rite.
Minor detail, capture the spirit.
You must have a helluva lot of time on your hands and a tiny mind.
