Mutual Obedience as a Monk

[@jr.fatherwilliamkeebler2030]

Yes! Mutual Obedience denotes service.

[@bradmosser8016]

Really awesome video! listen first, make sure advise is in alignment with your superiors and God's word. Be open to God's guidance from unexpected sources. Pray assertively for those who you may not like or who bother you. Sound words my young friend.

Spending time watching the abuse of obedience in the Abbey made me refuse to embrace my monastic vocation.

Obedience die i I die to self to serve and love God and others.

I sorry, but without some checks and balances, obedience can be used as a willow switch rather than a shepherd’s hook. And the abuse scandal and unquestioning hierarchy of power without humility or mercy has caused too much pain and suffering in the name of Christ and Church. The vertical and horizontal are not allowed to rebalance orders or allow for conscientious objection….

At first you looked a little dysfunctional there, Bro. But in a good way 🫶🏽

[@hugojames85]

I still maintain that he is suspiciously far too telegenic and well-trained in media-presentation to be a real monk.

So good looking people don’t belong in religious life?lol

[@hugojames85]

@@ryanscottlogan8459 No: what I meant is that it is statistically extremely unlikely that such a good-looking person who has evidently had full-blown media training on how to appear on camera (the second bit is more important) should be a real monk, and not an actor employed for the purposes of these videos.

@hugojames85 well I don't know what statistics your using lol, but you can come to PA to see that I am quite real. As to the camera appearance, I haven't ever gotten any training, I just do what comes naturally.

Why do you wear a wedding band? It is a symbol of married life. Why do you co-opt that symbol for a state in which you don't live?

[@mr.loidoltloidolt4474]

Monastics have long used matrimonial images and symbols to mark their own relationship with the Divine.

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

Almost all women religious wear a wedding band given to them on their day of profession.Are you Catholic?
