BEING A MONK IS SOOO BORING

You know what? At first, there is prayer, and silence, and faith. But then, what’s the fruit of it? Cheerfulness and Joy! That’s how life goes! This is a (not very serious) video made of some funny or unusual things we found in our archives… Enjoy!

It is so wonderful,that in this day and age,Monks and Nuns,can do whatever they want,since the times,when monks,kept silent,and never were allowed in public eye.But now,thanks to Pope Francis,we must let loose and let go,and enjoy what is out there,and ask God to guide us no matter what.As an Anglican,living in Cape-Town,I want to support you all,by watching your Videos,and sharing them. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! SHALOM

What a boring life LOL . How fun as a monk you do more then I even do ... I have always wanted to become a Monk had the calling but have always just pushed it out of my head. Now I am 53 and to old have seen . But I think there should not be a age limit if a person is healthy in body and also mind

Thank you Father Luke - I'll email you later.

[@Sarah-zg5qs]

If being a Monk is boring than leave, because you are not understanding what Christ's work really was. The fruit of the teachings of Christ is Joy, being able to smile through persecution, not being silly or mocking Him through your actions.

[@bro8974]

They go to great lengths to prove they are human. I prefer Religious who exhibit a quiet joy in their life.

[@Furry-Repellant-9000]

Are you a semi contemplative-active congregation?

[@Furry-Repellant-9000]

If you have lots of friends in monastery you will have a happy monkhood life

[@AMinuteWithaMonk]

hehe. Yes my friend. We are the Community of Saint John, missionary friars with a monastic life. Be blessed! Fr. Luc

[@scootergreen3]

YOu look like you belong on Darth Vader's team.

[@bro8974]

This does not promote vocations. It, of course, shows that they are human. Why do they need to prove it? Better a quiet and joyful carrying out of ministry. The Brother in the classrorom or the Sister in Pastoral care in a hospital joyfully fulfilling her duties - no that's a powerful witness.

The single most important change in Martin Luther's life was that he read and studied the bible. Everyone who thinks they are a Christian should seek to do the same, read and study the entire bible, then read the entire bible again, then again, and again. By knowing the truth, you will discover there is no purgatory, you cannot pay for indulgences, no veneration or worship of Mary. Mary cannot hear you neither can the saints that's passed away. If Mary knew what you were doing she would be frustrated about you! The Catholic literature strongly states that their Tradition Supersedes the Bible and they are proud of it unfortunately. I read their literature. A Catholic friend of mine showed it to me. The Catholic church is worth about a half a Trillion dollars with all it's Gold and Silver, Expensive Paintings, Real Estate, Investments in the Big Banks and lots of other things that we don't know about. Point: They could feed maybe all or most of the starving children and adults in the world but money is what's important to the Catholic church. Look at all that Gold at 55:04. The Bible in the New Testament church does not say to have this for the worship of him and God has more favor for the poor. Just go to Images on Google and type abandoned children and you will see them in rags and without food. It's heart breaking! You have the power. Same thing for the Queen of England, Bill Gates and all the other Billionaires! Just think if you all banded together to feed them! Our body is the temple of the Lord, not some building where men in dresses parade around. "Beware the teachers of the Law; they love to walk around in flowing robes, to have the best seats in the churches and places of honor at banquets. They say lengthy prayers for a show and they rob widows of their houses. These men shall be given the most severe punishment." Sprinkling some water on a non consenting newborn comes with a donation like all "sacraments". Priests charge for their little show of magic, waving hands around like wizards in dark ages costumes and funny hats. They won't do anything for free. The love of money is the root of all evil. The pedophile cult of Mary is an abomination to God and common decency, bunch of child molesters. 1. Priests were married and had children, how is it that the Catholic church has the gall to change the Word of God? I guess you catholics know better than God who created the universe and people. I'd like to see you explain yourself out of that one LOL. 1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. Guess you'll have to talk to your priest for an explanation. 1. Priests were in the Old Testament under Moses law. The Bible says there is no need for priests anymore because Jesus is the high priest and we are all priests. Exodus 6:23 Aaron (Priest) took to himself Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, as wife; and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. Aaron was a prophet, high priest, and the elder brother of Moses in the Abrahamic religions. Knowledge of Aaron, along with his brother Moses, comes exclusively from religious texts, such as the Bible Exodus 6:25 Eleazar, (Priest) Aaron’s son, took for himself one of the daughters of Putiel as wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their families. 2. A rosary is a waste of time. Pray to God yourself and Don't say Hail Mary. You should be hailing Jesus not Mary. Mary didn't die for you. 3. The Catholic church is a facade. Behind the facade is a big money-making business. Catholicism is a man-made religion. It looks religious with all it's figurines, incense etc but it is not a church at all. It's not a Christian church but a church of Money, Control and propaganda. It's sad that the Catholic church has deceived so many people. The Catholic church has invented many things on it's own with disregard to the King James scriptures, God's real Word. The first pope was Not Peter. There is no such thing as a pope in the Bible. 4. Catholics do not go according to the Bible as much as they do their own Tradition of rules and worship. Their tradition Supersedes the Bible, even their own Bible which says about the same thing as the King James Bible except for a few added books. Their Bible is pretty much the same as the KJ Bible. The Catholic's literature says that it supersedes the Bible and they are proud of it. It's false and inaccurate information intended to deceive from Satan. 5. Catholics are good and smart people but they are sheep led to the slaughter by untruth. They have found their own way of worship instead of the Bible the true Word of God (Jesus). 6.The Catholic church may be the richest organization in the world with it's money, gold, silver, ties with the Rothchilds and the big bankers. The church could feed the world of starving and homeless. It does feed some just to make it look good. The Pope lives in Luxury and Catholics see him as important as Jesus. You rarely hear a Catholic talk about Jesus which is strange. They talk more about Mary. 7. Real Christians don't necessarily believe every Preacher they hear. We compare what the preacher says to the Bible because we read the Bible. Catholics accept everything from the pope not knowing whether it's a lie or not. We have Fired preachers for not telling the truth. The Bible says few be that find the Truth and most will not get to Heaven. The Bible says nothing about Peter being the first pope or being a pope at all. 8. We follow the New Testament, Jesus teachings. There is no such thing as Purgatory in the Bible. It's made up by a false teachers so Catholics can say; I don't have to obey God all I have to do is believe in Him and be a Catholic; If He puts me in purgatory they will pray me out and I will eventually get to Heaven. It is foolish for a pope or priest to speak in Latin because few understand it. It's another way to fool naive people. Latin spoken in a Catholic church sounds religious. That's why people are fooled by it and doing rituals and using incense like they did in the Old Testament which we are not under today and not instructed to use it.
