    This video reminds me of an old monk whom we visited to gather materials for my mother's Phd. He was very charming when we are about to leave he prayed for us all and didn't accept the money my mother gave him. He said I didn't help you for money but if you want to give this donate it to the congregation and same he did with the snacks we gave him he was in his late 80 a few years back, even at that age he wasn't resting. almost all the monks there had hobbies and doing something to keep themselves busy.

    • @JeffHorchoff
      @JeffHorchoff  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Whenever a man or woman responds to the call of God to the religious life, their life begins to change as their focus on living moves from temporal things to spiritual things. It is truly a beautiful thing to have lived a life as long as the monk you speak of, and still hold on to what God has called hi to. Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching the video. Also, I hope you will check out more of my over 500 bee wrangling/ bee rescue adventure videos and let me know what you think of them. By the way, I post a new video almost every Friday morning, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. God's peace Timo.

      Thank you so much for your kind words. Brother Austin has been running Monk Soap here at St. Joseph Abbey for years now and has done amazing things introducing new products for sale at the Gift Shop, the lotion bars are just one of them. He has also added new scents in the soap bars that are sold as well as adding candles to the product line. I'm delighted to supply the beeswax from our bees here at the abbey to facilitate these products. I know for certain the lucky folks that receive your lotion bars will be extremely happy.

    I’m a soap maker. Luv the bee molds. I’ve made lotion bars before too. Shea butter is very moisturizing for dry skin, cracked heels on your feet and soothes hard working hands. Good stuff. Hope to see more soaping videos. You can use real honey in soap too but it’ll turn your soap brown. You can also add beeswax to your soap as well.

    Mr Ed, I love it when you show us the Abbey “workers” had a work. Whether making soap, bread, or coffins, the industry of the Abbey makes me think of medieval times. I’m wondering if there are also scribes workin away on parchments! What a wonderful place for you to use your time and knowledge to serve God. Janet

      Most monks in Christian Monastries do agricultural and light industries work, regardless of the sect, the Egyptian Orthodox monastries has large scale farms that produce poultry, meat, dairy, pickles, fish and of course honey, there is a nun monastrey that is producing a herb based powder for weight loss, it is too effective that it helped me loose 20 kilos over a year without any complications, it is hard to put my hands on though
