14 years passed. I watched. But never wrote, a coment. Here we are, in times of pandemic. Such words of unworldly wisdom are better loved especially now. Thank you and May the good Lord be with you.
A simple life will lead to simple thoughts with profound answers
Simplicity, spirituality, humility...thank you for this inspiring video
Please pray for Benedictine Monks and communities, particularly the monks at Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire. God bless
thank you for bring this forward for us to listen
From Misión Cruz Hermitage in Somerset ,TEXAS. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Keeping you in my prayers always👏praise God the most high always🙌👏👏
It is good to hear this Benedictine, sage like monk speak. IMO is the style of interviewing not fantastic ... I hope many independent, spiritually orientated communes will blossom around the world, where ppl learn to practice sacred methods of communicating with the Divine, where ppl till some land, grow veg, keep bees, bake their own bread, etc., aiming at diligently practicing compassion and kindness for all living beings, and sharing highest wisdom with those seeking it.
fascinating. They both brought much to the conversation, One point re. the link between capitalism and monasticism: It's worth remembering that the move towards industrialisation in the west came AFTER the reformation in the 16th C. Isnt it more likely to be the Protestant move AWAY from monasticism - allowing people to WORK almost all of the time instead of keeping a balanced routine of work, relaxation and prayer which leads to the growth of our modern workaholic capitalist society?
Many thanks for this video. This is an excellent place.
Oh yes; very informative, enlightening, peaceful, and yet very inspiring video. Christ-centred life which seems simple enough and yet befitting to very humble and loving individuals only. A team of holy people serving God and man, in my opinion , as it should or ought to be done. Incredible bunch of people.
I like the history behind this monastic order.
Father Jiles seemed so relax, perhaps, the right word is humble. Humility at its best.
Many thanks for sharing.
Welldone and God bless †
You probably dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Judah Otto instablaster :)
@Declan Kristian thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Declan Kristian It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Judah Otto No problem =)
2 years late but that is a wonderful way to put it. Thank you.
Rule of St Benedict Ch 42: 'Monks should be silent at all times but especially at night. This should always be the rule whether it is a feast day or not.'
Keeping out women and children does make it easier for relationship amongst the monks. Simplicity.
Volume/sound is too low.. could not hear properly.
I must admit I found the interviewer very irritating early on, but warmed to him before too long. Pluscardine Abbey is an incredible place to visit.
Good way to avoid the evil world.
F Tan - A very ill-informed and judgemental remark. Monks and nuns do NOT avoid the "evil world" - You would be surprised to find that they probably have more knowledge and understanding of world politics and what is going-on than so-called "people-in-the-world"! (...and I speak from many years of personal experience).
@xburningheavensx Are u working in a refugee camp? Do u maybe have a fam., friends, a job, so u work together with people, to be able to eat, sleep, do what u think u must do. Is that selfish?? Do u want to dictate to all existing groups living communally, they must chose your life style, or go work in refugee camps? Do u prefer corporate greed manifesting? on the spot where this commune creates a peaceful atmosphere, and for many a soul in trouble a shelter from the storm ..
They do something much greater: They dedicate their lives to worshipping God.
This kind of arrogance and snobbery is what has fostered institutional abuse and this group is no different.
