I stayed at Mount Melleray Abbey in Ireland. Beautiful!

Abbey in Iowa was founded by monks from NM in Ireland.

Thank you

What a pretty place to retreat too. Why is it simplistic building and furnishings are far more peaceful and enjoyable, without the world' 'stuff'. God be praised, bless you all within those hallowed walls.

[@michaelweaver8309]

Agree. Thank you.

Such beauty found in the simplicity of design. My room at Manresa Jesuit retreat house in the late 70’s, looked similar along with dining hall and Chappell. Thank you!

Your point?

[@polemeros]

@@michaelweaver8309 It's an interesting rhetorical form, the "Your point?" form. Smells of passive aggression. It usually conceals, "I know what you are saying I don't like it , so defend yourself from what I think you're saying." Tiresome.

Empty. Thank You Vatican 2.

It will be an internment centre someday. As an aside, it was the name of a brand of incense we used years ago.
