GLADSOME LIGHT - A film about the monks of Holy Protection Monastery

Monasticism does not exist as an abstraction. Buildings, Rules of Life, and traditions, remain dead unless they are given meaning through human actions. Monasticism must be lived, incarnated in the daily life of specific communities of real men or women. For it is the community, not the buildings or the concept, that constitutes the monastery.
In our monastery at Jacob's Falls, on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula: we devote ourselves to a common life of prayer and work; for the praise, love, and service of God - and the upbuilding of His Kingdom through the Arts.
