This is a very special place where I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Wow!

A truly Holy place.

I was recently injured hiking down Vineyard Knob and Father Elias rescued me. I am homebound for 3-4 months due to my resultant knee surgery. But I still feel calming connection with videos like this and compline video. It is a time of healing and growth. Thank you for your service to God and community. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Brother 🙏🙏🙏

Truly authentic man of God.

New Seeds of Contemplation is a must read.

An immersion in the Holy Spirit.

I have been to the Abbey of Gethsemani several times. A truly spiritual place to “be still and know that I am God.”

Absolutely beautiful. So very peaceful!

Gheeze, I miss father Matthew and his compline talks

I love this very Holy and sacred place.

I'm not Christian, but I live close to Gethsemane in Nelson County. I've gone there and watched these guys. Talked to some of them. What they have and what they do is a good thing I think. I respect them. Oldest monetary in the US I think. Their property is huge and beautiful.

Fr.Kelty was a Priest in my parishin Papua 🇵🇬 New Guinea. God bless his Soul.

You are what I miss of the South. ❤

We must pray for President Trump for his protection. God bless

At Abbey now. Compline just ended. What a powerful and beautiful experience.

God bless you my brothers may our Lord keep you .

Merton's Abbey Home. Sitting in the dark balcony late one night in the late 1980s, Merton stood next to my pew and startled me into a new way of living. Since that encounter, Gethsemani as been my Spiritual Home.

It is calming when hearing the brothers pray the Liturgy, and in seeing this glimpse of the place, it is beautiful.

@LawrenceMorey can you tell me which psalm tone this is, please? Thanks.

Can anyone tell me which tone this is? (e.g. Tone 2, etc)

I am very grateful that his tapes got out to us in the world. I so enjoy listening to him. The levity in his tone no matter how deep the subject is, and how he easily flows back and forth between profound spiritual insights and goofy jokes - that in itself carries af message of the spirit. Thank you for these videos, too :)

Korea pray for Peace unification

I'm grateful for the anonymity of the monk, working and praying in obscurity for G-d and all creation. Thank you.

Wow, Merton entered a Trappist monastery three weeks after he was baptized?

Everytime I've gone there I never wanta leave.

I was privileged to visit the hermitage with Br. Patrick Hart 🙏🏼

I like this guy

May God bless and keep you safe with His grace and peace.

Do you know who the brother was that Fr Louis brought back to life in early 60's?

Yes, a beautiful place of peace and solitude. I have visited many times and am blessed. RIP Father Matthew and Bro. Pat!!

Very beautiful. I love the atmosphere you create. Thought-provoking film.

May all those that are battling addiction will be able to allow God to enter their heart and start the process of making amends...Christopher Augustine Foster.

In the USA are much more monks than in Europe

As a Social Worker I use the MH and pilot/navigation stories with my patients and their family/friends ALL THE TIME. Wonderful analogies that provide such hope - but it takes time to develop the friendship love and ultimately trust to fly blind while listening to their mentor Just WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

So very ethereal and hauntingly beautiful. Respectfully giving credence to a child's pain. Softly thoughtful of her feelings. ❤

2:28pm. 8/21/23 Beautifully done🙏 Great seeing the monks now & earlier in their lives! Keep the inspirational videos coming🌿 Love getting glimpses into the daily lives of the monks!

Deo gratias

God bless

wonderful film. thank you🤍.

How do I listen to more of Father Kelly’s inspiring talks thank you

Is this Father Matthew Kelty ? A delight to listen to ?

What a wonderful speaker/teacher. So easy to listen to, quasi conversational yet full of heartfulness and straight talking. I could listen to him a lot !

the building and environment are very beautiful and very grand. greetings from Indonesia. OCSO SANTAMARIA RAWASENENG

Recommended books: "The soul of the apostolate", "Holy abandonment", and "A Trappist writes home".

Br Lawrence, Every time I hear you voice singing I feel close to the Abbey and to heaven. This video and hearing your voice is so comforting.

Beautiful. God bless them. !!

Ich weiß nicht, warum man immer Novizen zu Worte kommen lässt. Einem Novizen kommt es zu, völlig verborgen das Ordensleben kennen zu lernen und sich zu prüfen, ob dieses Leben für ihn geeignet ist. Das ist nicht die Basis, um Statements von sich zu geben. Drei Tage nach solch einem Auftritt packt er vielleicht schon seinen Koffer.

I stayed three days about two weeks ago. My first visit. I was so moved that I seek silence everyday for prayer. It's comforting to know these monks are praying everyday.throughout the year. I can't wait to go back.
