As we age, we all become monks in one way or another

This video started it all for me. Next month, I enter into a Benedictine community.

Enclosed monks, hermits and Nuns are vital part of the Church and the world, they pray and intercede for us before the throne of God. God bless and protect you all.🙏

All true Christians are called to be friendly an civil to others an show God where they are too people ,in their world.They don't have to do so in monasteries an covenants, but people have freewill from God to live life as they choose

Im wondering whether god is calling me to do this

It frustrates me that for some reason being a monk means becoming fat. This seems like the opposite of the life of the church "Work and Prayer"...

All the Vatican 2 catholics say it's too confusing, I don't understand, it's confusing ! Or the mass is enough, No, it's not enough. You must have the true Traditional Catholic Faith. There is nothing Confusing about it !!! Pope Eugene IV, Council Florence, Cantate Domino, 1441 : therefore the Catholic Church condemns Rejects excommunicates and declares to be outside the body of Christ which is the Catholic Church whoever holds opposing or contrary views. Pope Pelagius II, Quod ad dilectionem, 585: If anyone however either suggests or believes or presumes to teach contrary to this faith, let him know that he is Condemned and also anathematized, excommunicated, according to the opinion of the Fathers.. Pope Eugene IV, Council Florence, Cantate Domino, 1441 : therefore the Catholic Church condemns Rejects excommunicates and declares to be outside the body of Christ which is the Catholic Church whoever holds opposing or contrary views. Pope Pelagius II, Quod ad dilectionem, 585: If anyone however either suggests or believes or presumes to teach contrary to this Faith, let him know that he is Condemned and also anathematized, excommunicated, according to the opinion of the same Fathers. Pope Gregory 16th, 1831 - 1846 : let nothing of the truths, that have been defined be lessened, nothing altered, nothing added, but let them be preserved intact in word and meaning !! Vatican Council of 1870 session 3 chapter 4, part 13 and 14 EX Cathedra -- for the doctrine of the Faith which God has revealed, is put forward not as some philosophical Discovery capable of being perfected by human intelligence, but as a Divine Deposit committed to the Spouse of Christ to be Faithfully protected and infallibly promulgated, hence to that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be maintained which has once been declared by Holy Mother Church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext, or in the name of a more profound understanding. Pope Leo 13 - Satis Cognitum # 13, 1896. You are not to be looked upon as holding the true Catholic faith if you do not teach the Faith of Rome is to be held. Pope Pius10th syllabus, condemning the errors of the modernists 1907 article 62 : the proposition the chief articles of the Apostles Creed did not have the same sense for the Christians of the first stages as they have for the Christians of our time is hereby condemned as erroneous. St John of the Cross, 1591 wherefore if there be revealed to us anything new or different we must in no way give consent to it not even though it were spoken by an Angel. St. Thomas Aquinas doctor of the church 1274 all those who deny one Article of Faith regardless of their reason are by that very fact excommunicated. Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence Session 8, 1439 - Ex Cathedra - Whoever Wills to be saved before all things it is necessary that he holds the Catholic Faith. Unless a person keeps this Faith whole and undefiled without doubt He Shall Perish eternally. Pope Leo 13th, 1896 the practice of the church has always been the same as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers who were want to hold as outside Catholic communion and alien to the church whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of Doctrine proposed by her authoritative magisterium. Council Florence session 11 February 4th, 1442; Ex Cathedra; the Holy Roman Church condemns reproves anathematize has and declares to be outside the body of church which is the Catholic Church whoever holds opposing or contrary views. Pope Saint Leo the Great, Doctor of the Church, 440- 461 A.D. - the faith shall never vary in any age for one is the faith which justifies the just of all ages it is unlawful to differ even by a single word from Apostolic Doctrine. Pope Leo 10th, 5th lateran Council, session 8th, 1513 Ex Cathedra, and since truth cannot contradict the truth, we Define that every statement contrary to the enlightened truth of the Faith is totally false and we strictly forbid teaching otherwise to be permitted, we decree that all those who cling to erroneous statements of this time, thus sowing heresies which are wholly condemned should be avoided in every way and punished as detestable and odious Heretics and infidels who are undermining the Catholic Faith. Saint Athanasius,died 373 AD. God's word is one and the same in the doors forever unchanged always the same. Pope Pius 9th, Qui Pluribus I'm, faith and religion November 9th 1846 paragraph 20, Never Cease to instruct all men in it, never tolerating and letting pass anyting which could in the slightest degree defiled the purity of this Faith !!! With the same great strength of Mind Foster and all men their Unity with the Catholic Church outside of which there is no salvation. Pope Saints Sixtus, 3,432 A.D. Nothing new is to be allowed for nothing can be added to the old look for the faith of the elders and do not let our faith be disturbed by a mixture of new doctrines. St Vincent of Lerins, 445 A.D., all novelty in Faith is a sure Mark of heresy. Saint Paul Cried Out aloud again and again to all men to all times and to all places that if anyone announces a new doctrine let him be anathematized excommunicated. Ecclesiastics 18:5 - Nothing maybe taken away or added. Pope Pius X, 1903-1914 A.D., Oath against Modernism - And so I retain most firmly the faith of the Fathers and shall retain it until the final Breath of Life !! Regarding the certain Gifts of Truth, which is, was and will, always be, in the succession of the episcopacy, from the Apostles, But not so that what may seem better and more fitting according to each one's period of culture, may be held, but so that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed otherwise, may never be understood otherwise !!! Galatians 1:8 - but though we are an angel from heaven preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you let him be anathema excommunicated from the church Proverbs 30:6, add nothing to his words lest you be reproved and found a liar. St Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the church died 1274 A.D - Our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this and you dissolve the unity of the church !! we must hold this for certain that the Faith of the people at the present day is one with the Faith of the people of past centuries !!! were this not true then we would be in a different Church then they and literally the church would not be one !!! Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Doctor of the church died 444, A.D. - for it is not allowable for anyone to change even one word, nor allow one syllable to be passed over mindful of the saying : past not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set !!! Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9)June 29,1896: Can it be lawful for anyone to reject any one of those truths without by that very fact falling into heresy ?!! without separating himself from the Catholic Church ? Without repudiating in one sweeping act the whole of Christian teaching ? For such is the nature of Faith that nothing can be more absurd than to accept some things and reject others !!! But he who dessents even in one point from divinely revealed truth absolutely rejects all the faith, since he thereby refuses the honor God as the Supreme truth and the formal motive of Faith. Pope Leo XIII,Satis Cognitum # 9, June 29,1896: the Catholic Church found it on these principles and mindful of her office has done nothing with greater Zeal and Endeavor then she has displayed in guarding the Integrity of the Catholic faith hence she regarded as Rebels and expelled from the ranks of her children all who held beliefs on any point of Doctrine different from her own. If there is a change YOU ARE NOT TO SUPPORT IT OR embrace it IN ANY WAY !!! There is no confusion unless you're a heretic and belong to the vatican 2 fake church, there is no confusion for true Catholics, I'll say that again, there is no confusion for the true Catholics !! The teachings of the church are simple and clear. Nothing is to be changed !!!!! Nothing !!! If you disagree with this your excommunicated from the church you no longer are Catholic you no longer have a father in Heaven.

5 yr update I commented 5 yrs ago (you can scroll and find my handle) was surprised when my comment was up on my feed as being commented on 5 yrs later. I guess God’s work is continuing. I’m still alone, trying my best to live monasticly. God’s interference is daily, taking me out of my beloved prayer life and immersing me into His Work and Will. Not always comfortable but noticeably needed, in two ways. The good of others and personal growth for myself. I have a saying “oh boy another growth opportunity”. Nonetheless, I’m still here, trying daily to catch a glimpse or hear the word of Jesus. When it comes it’s least expected, but truly precious. Worthy of all my efforts. Listen today with the ear of your heart, for Jesus only can be heard when we are silent. Pax vobis.

Becoming a monk is a really bad investment option, besides everything else. Please don't be offended, but God created me gay and you are very cute.

Great story, of the good life granted by God.

WE ALL LOVE YOU.! THANK YOU!

MODERN MONK? I DONT THINK THIS IS POSSIBLE

Not really monks ..

I love you these monster l come you with you young catholice.

Your beautiful

I would like to join with them. But not im my corrupted country. I know for sure if Jesus Christ himself comes to my church he would do same as he had done in Jerusalem.

We love our Monks at Belmont Abbey. They are so different and each of them offers the community their gifts. We are happy that the oblates are gonna start meeting again.

Faltan medidas de seguridad...

Mother olga I meet you you are a Saint love you so much ❤

Not your dad’s monastery, I suppose.

Not your dad’s monastery, I suppose.

Oh well, I guess brother Edward never stopped shoveling lol

Go back and interview br Raban again and you have my subscription!

Hi Brother, I just dropped by into this video and I find this so captivating. I got so interested. Being a modern monk is just not bad at all.

I completely understand... It's a calling so to speak! I'm proud to say my baby cousin is now a monk. Philadelphia USA

There's only one "n" in canon, that is, a set of rules or beliefs. A cannon is an artilery piece.

A REAL MONK LIVES AN POOR LIFE WITHOUT A SWIMMINGPULL AN MODERN THINGS ......AND WHATS THE REST IS WRONG BELIVE .A Real MONK cuts of his own wills AND DREAMS. Following completley JESUS CHRIST ,WITH OUT LUX OR MODERN ACHIZIȚIONS .HE DONT SHOW HIS FACE TO THE WORLD ,BECAUSE HE IS AGAINTS THE ONE IN THE WORLD .!!!THAT WHY WE GO TO MONASTERYS AND PRAY HIDDEN IN OUR ROOMS SO THAT JUST GOD YOUR FATHER SEES YOU .!!!!! I SEE YOU AZ AN MODERN ,,MONK " THAT YOU LOVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUDY !!! BUTH WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TOKED CARE OF YOUR SOUL WITH OUT LOOKING WHAT YOU HAVE AROUND YOU .

Jesus Christ loves you and he has a plan for your life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior if you have not done so already.

please help me to get their contact

I know how it is. One can pack one’s bags to go to the monastery but God may keep you in a cave in the mountains instead. Or, like for me…a hermitage and grounds in a dying village in Louisiana. In truth Matthew 24 may carry the vision for the world of the end but Jeremiah was called before he was born in his mother’s womb, as I was. You can have everything I[ve passed along, too. Bless you. I need to send you a donation.

Just watched a video about a young postulant in a New Zealand Transalpinist order. He was a child prodigy violinist: yet when his final vows occur they'll take his violin away. He's a wonderful musician. It's hard to imagine Jesus rejoices in that. Great talent only to see it thrown away. Brother Benjamin Li is gladly submitting: it's his decision.. Holy is in all kinds of places, people and acts. Peace be to those who find those paths and shine that Light.

Is there an age limit to being a monk? Thank you

WHEN ARE THE CATHOLICS GOING TO STOP THE GAY MOVEMENT IN THEIR CHURCH SYSTEM? WHY DO CATHOLICS SUPPORT THEIR GAY PRIESTHOOD CLUB? IT’S WORLDWIDE, IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW. WHEN WILL THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STOP THE MOLESTATION, RAPE, AND SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND NUNS? THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS PRODUCED MORE PEDOPHILES THAN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD (HOLLYWOOD, THE MUSIC WORLD, AND SPORTS WORLD.) YET, YOU CATHOLICS SIT BACK AND TURN YOUR HEAD TO THESE SEXUAL BEHAVIORS; WHY??? THIS PERVERSION HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, AND CATHOLICS HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING TO STOP SUCH ACTIONS; WHY? STOP SUPPORTING THIS EVIL SEXUAL BEHAVIOR. STOP GIVING MONEY TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES. THEY ARE HAVING SEXUAL PARTIES OFF OF YOUR MONEY. FOR THE SAKE OF PROTECTING CHILDREN IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD, STOP THIS. IF FOR ONE MOMENT, YOU THINK A PASTOR OR PRIEST HAS AUTHORITY OVER YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED; SAD BUT SO TRUE! WATCH THE VOXTER VIDEOS, IT'S A ALL THING CATHOLIC NEWS PROGRAM. GET SOME FACTS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Arkansas. The greatest state in America 🇺🇸 😁

Monks main focus shouldnt be how they look, that would be vanity (most Communities/Orders tell their members they cannot look in the mirror unless they're shaving/trimming their beards). When I was a monk in 2016-2017 that is what I was told.

Catholic monks: basically off gridding with god overtones. Catholic nuns: cloistered and hidden behind walls and bars. There’s so much wrong here

I want to live a monastic type of life at home, making my home a small monastery. I'm drawn to this life.

CANNON= ARTILLERY PIECE/CANON=a collection or list of sacred books\TRADITIONS accepted as genuine.

God bless you all for what you do for His kingdom, and for His Glory.

"Monk Sauce." That's hot.

Sometimes you are wearing the habit - at other times not. What decides when you wear what?

Who pays the bills?

Glory ☦️☝️

Most of us want to be happy at the cost of forsaking God. Monks are happy when they are nearest to their God. The happiness of heaven is seen in the tranquil soul and not in the loud laughter and desirous spirit of the world. If one is for God one must forsake the world's ways. For the world's ways will eventually bring sorrow to the soul. For world loves itself at the cost of loving God.

He needs to wear eye protection.

My friend dhruv soni from india also wants to be a monk

Thanks for this wonderful video. If given the opportunity to be young again I would have chosen to become a monk. It is a very noble calling.

I just don't like his reason for becoming a monk but I respect it. I myself want to become a monk because it'll be awesome and pleasing to God and pleasing God makes me happy!

Ayeeeee yall make the alter wine for my church!!!
