My father doesn't even like me and even he would not burn me in hell. How am I supposed to feel loved by someone who may or may not do such a thing depending upon if he feels like it?

lately, I have been very drawn to this kind of life. as time progresses, I have grown tired of material things and any other achievements. I long for a peaceful life serving god and others.

Got to say noone quite does this like catholic monks . Can someone name the first hymn for me , it is enough to make a great burly guy like me tear up. Thank you Jesus

Congratulations, Br. Mark, on the occasion of your Solemn Profession. I recall when you arrived at Conception as a postulant, when you entered the novitiate, and your first profession. How time moves along! May God strengthen you in your religious calling, and preserve you in your monastic resolve. Ad Multos Annos!

Beautiful, thank you!

Thank you.

God bless you. Can I find a live stream or recording of you praying LOTH?

Thank you! 😇 🙏

Thank you! 😇

Thank you! 😇 God bless you and your ministry. 🙏

Good video. I need a spiritual director. I felt a calling since my youth. So I went into the ministry as a Protestant and loved being a pastor and missionary. I did this for almost two decades then became Catholic about 8 years ago. Now I don’t know what to do and have been so frustrated. I still have my gifts and callings of God but being married couldn’t be a priest or monastic. I’d LOVE to be either one, but can’t. Though now we are separated…so I’m praying and discerning for what God wants from me next. It’s been so heartbreaking to leave ministry and the callings and pulling is still there all of my life. I hope I can one day get back to that place or something similar where God can use me in a greater way again. 😞 🙏

What version of Bible do they read? If no one preach, how do you understand Bible????? Do they do communion????

I am so thankful for this video. Up to this point, I felt guided by God as to where and in what monastery he wanted me in. I had always heard pretty much everyone say “I knew deep inside, it was the place for me” so I expected just that as I went to talk to the sisters. I didn’t feel that, in fact I kept asking myself “what am I doing?” This has let me to doubt what I have believed to be my vocation. I was praying to God and asking him to guide me to tell me his will so that I can better follow it. I pick up my phone with the sense that I would find my answer. I go to KZbin and see your video. Thank you so much. I now understand that God is leaving it up to me. He loves me so much so he lets me choose.

As my biological clock continues to remind me its almost too late.... I pray to our Lord and ask for a good Catholic husband and our own healthy and holy babies who grow up to love and serve the Lord! 💙 💜 💖

Great video father, thank you 🙏 PS: the link below doesn’t work :)

I'm a baptized at birth Catholic but I was raised protestant. I know practically nothing about being Catholic, I have no degree and I'm unable to read much, plus I'm severely mentally ill (but pretty much normal on medication). I realize I can't join the clergy, but maybe I'll get to be a full-fledged Catholic one day. Thank you for your videos guys, they really do inspire and help humble Christian souls.

Where's the Tabernacle? 😢

They still do the vigil lights way up high!!

i miss Conception a lot. Best place in the world i ever been

very edifying, as it has always been.

Thank you for lifting my soul. Greg ❤

Out of the many videos on vocation I've seen in life, this was the best. Thank you so much for this. I'm married and followed that vocation path without complete peace or assurance. As St. Therese said, my vocation is love. Just keep loving those in your life and you're on the right track.

I’d say there is no “Wrong choice” in this matter. In the first Harry Potter entry, Harry puts on the magic hat, the hat that tells Harry what household he thinks he should be in at Wizard school. The Hat thinks Harry would excel in the Slytherin house, based on Harry’s particular powers and abilities. Harry begs the hat not to put him in Slytherin, even though the hat believes that Harry would be good in Slytherin based on his talents and abilities. All the same Harry begs the hat repeatedly to not place him in Slytherin. Harry simply does not desire to be placed there because of the mean kids in it. In spite of itself The hat honors Harry’s request even though he still believes Harry would excel in Slytherin. He then places Harry in another household where Harry does in fact excel and ultimately becomes a wizard. Harry still possessed the talents and special powers that would have made him excel in Slytherin, but regardless Harry finds a facility to use his powers for good in the household that he chose. It wasn’t a wrong chose, it was just a different path for him to becoming a wizard and defeat Voldemort at the end, which was the ultimate goal .A person’s abilities can be used for good in any number of ways, not just one household/outlet. Now am I saying that the Magic hat represents God? Yes and No. I’d say the part of the hat that wants to influence and recruit Harry to one specific earthly place based only on his talents and natural abilities regardless of his personal desires, represents society. But the part of the hat that represents one that honors and respects Harry’s personal free will, regardless of what people and society say we should do based only on our talent and eligibilities, that represents God.

Thank you! It is such a blessing to hear vespers.

why did you stop the compline and lauds streams?

Why did you all stop doing these streams?

As always, fantastic guidance. Thank you!

These really are so good! ❤

Excellent!❤ so helpful

Very helpful. Thank you!❤

Good music. :)

This is fantastic in so many ways. Thank you ❤

I love the art of the life of Saint Benedict at 4:06 and 0:57, are those murals in the abbey? Where could I perhaps find images like that? Thank you, from an Oblate.

Thank you very much for your wonderful instruction. I always thought I would be very happy being a monk and at peace, but I'm trying my best to do it alone. Greg

Looks and sounds wonderful😊

A, Seven hours without going to the bathroom!!

Where are you ?! Why you don't record new praying live anymore in this channel - your channel is a blessing and calming & inspiring oasis in that world

I'm a 53 yr old unmarried man , no children. I feel God calling me to a vocation. (a brother perhaps) But recently I heard the term "consecrated single life." Can you shed some light on this please?

I have a question. Why do you accept Protestants within the Monks, And why do you give them Holy communion?
