Oratory build - Timelapse

It has been in making for while (or "not in the making" - which was the problem), but my hermitage finally received its final altar piece. Enjoy and stay creative. UT IN OMNIBUS GLORIFICETUR DEUS

[@moccasinlanding]

As an old sailor, I see the resemblance of the Oratory shape to the hull of a wooden vessel. The gentle curve as it reaches its height, wraps itself around the celebrant or the penitant, comforting, protecting, exhaulting. Peace be with you always. 🙏

[@nonenowherebye]

The main part of a church, be it Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican or similar, is typically referred to as "The Nave" as it resembles exactly that, the inside of a ship turned upside down. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Vancouver, BC, be sure to visit Christchurch Cathedral. The building was built some 100 years ago by shiprights, and is a gothic style cathedral inside, but all made from timbers and wood like a ship.

Like most of us, I met you through Martijn, and first saw your alter when you showed it to him. Its beauty knocked me out, the design, the painting, the curved oratory ceiling. To learn that you did it all, including the paintings, the gold leaf, just highlights your talent and dedication to your calling. Your homestead, like Martijn's, is glorious, and a testament to hard, grueling work, fighting gravity every step of the way. Thanks for your channel, and thanks for keeping an eye on Martijn's ladies while he's gone.

[@Martina_BCJdesign]

Hello Johannes. I found your channel via Martijn and Kirsten Dirksen. I don't usually comment, but just have to say that you've done an absolutely amazing job! Painting everything on your own, just, speechless! Amazing work, not just with the oratory, that definitely inspires awe in all of us who see it, but the entire estate. House, stove, terraced gardens...So much work and effort. It's like a spirit oasis in the Alps. 🏞️ Wishing you all the best and...Labor omnia vincit!

[@glennlanham6309]

just a fyi, he is properly referred to as Fr. Johannes or Don Johannes

[@VEWNZ]

I found you via Martijn channel. I always enjoyed those episodes when Martijn dropped on to visit yr beautiful garden the orchard cleaved to the side of the mountain with swales ... just amazing and very inspiring. Every inch of ground nurtured for God's glory

[@sandrawhitehouse3998]

May it please God to bless you Johannes for sharing your beautiful creativity to us. 🙏🏻

[@joycegronenthal2560]

I too found you through Martijn, so glad you are friends and help each other. Your chapel is amazing.

[@kellyschroer2114]

Your altar area is just stunning! Your artistic talent is amazing! God has blessed you with some amazing talent! Love seeing this series Father Johannes, thank you!

[@Dhalpourie]

Very happy to pop over and visit with Martijn's neighbor. Great content and exceptional gardening skills. Thanks for sharing your time and life lessons. God bless. 🙏🏽

[@mrs.h.1577]

Praying many will be attracted to our loving Creator through your personal witness and influence. May the Lord be glorified, now and for ever.

[@edwardsteele7123]

Dearest father , love your videos . I love the, commentary about the lord,that you add also. I have been in a relationship with god,and i now realise I should have been a priest,but I left it too late as irs taken my whole life to work through terrible childhood abuse,from parental alcoholism and neglect.which led on to addiction issues asvavway of coping. The lord is my strength and wouldn't be here if not for him.Thank you for your comforting videos.they really help. God bless you father,love Edward.

[@LindaSwilley-mz3vo]

Praise God the Father and his only Begotten son for all your efforts in Jesus name Amen!

[@corir207]

Pressing a "like" button is really not sufficient! Thank you for sharing your artistic process. I wish, the timelapse would be slower!

[@donjojohannes]

No worries. It is slower in Episode 8 of the new series where there is a flashback to the building of the chapel. Unfortunately I recorded most of it on a gopro, so the quality is not on par with the rest

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Holy! Glory Be! Amazing! Thank you for sharing. Blessings.

[@susisgk2189]

Hallo Johannes, ich hab Dich über Martjin gefunden. Danke für Deine Arbeit und Dein "Sosein" - so inspirierend. Danke. So steht ind lebt jeder an seinem Platz und gibt sein Bestes! Wir sind alle Geist in Gottes Geist - wie schön ❤

[@debbie2027]

[@purplelilacs6706]

I’m in awe - your artistic talent is seriously amazing! The carpentry & artwork done in your chapel is extraordinary- what an absolute pleasure to watch you create something so beautiful. Your hothouse garden is full of nutritious & interesting veggies & fruits - very inspiring. I’ve watched each of your episodes several times - you are also very talented film producer, editor & writer making every aspect of your experiences so interesting & informative …. and, thank you for showing us the beauty of nature that surrounds your home high on a mountain in the Italian Alps - filming & photography is excellent. I’m just one of the many that relaxes with your vlogs & am so grateful that you decided to do this !

[@shantil7764]

Extraordinary. And also must be the feeling of knowing you have inside the power, the lion of God, to make such a masterpiece come alive. Bravo.

Absolutely beautiful Father. God bless you and keep you safe out there!

[@MuirWoods111]

I subscribed as one of your first followers. Your chapel is beautiful! You seem to have as many skills as Martijn. Blessings.

[@septemberschubilske539]

Wow! So beautiful! A beautiful place to pray 🙏

[@JusticeChrist_]

Johannes you are the embodiment of what I want to achieve in this life, the natural paradise you have created inspires me so much. I would love to be your understudy or learn how to create a tranquil environment for me and my family the way you have. I would very much appreciate your guidance in finding a way to peace 🙏

[@johnmccarthy6451]

Father Johannes, we're all looking forward to seeing you around all the Utan National Parks. There's lots of hiking to be done in Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Capitol Reef, & Canyon Lands parks of Utah. Don't forget us here, we'd love to see you face to face in Duck Creek too, this summer, next summer, when ever suits! Best wishes.. JM

[@hannahr.n.5791]

You have succeed excellence! Yesterday, I came across a video of you being interviewed at your home. Your topics is now in my KZbin feed so I became aware of your movie which I purchased. You are very inspiring and a good Christian example. Thank-you

[@jimjustjim976]

Father Johannes amazing! I'm so impressed and inspired by what you did. I showed my children to teach and inspire in them what is possible. If you ever do a Q&A I'd love to hear how you crafted the alter art, or whatever the wall is called behind the alter. It's perfectly symetrical. Some mathematics or a tech/app program I'm guessing were used. Finally, I'm really enjoying the videos, and your aim and goal has that effect of a quieting of the mind- watching you work and then nicely leading into these reflections. I particularly liked the first reflections on January. So true what was said. I'm soon getting a book from Word on Fire press Socrates' Children and a small 1st introductory book on St. Thomas Acquinas. Looking foward. May God continue these blessings on you and your sneaky evangelising, ha!

[@Rana.Boustany]

Ora et Labora … this is mindblowing…I am so glad to have found your channel through Martin Doolaard’s reference.

[@andreacc7795]

Hello Johannes, just found your channel after watching Martins one, that is an amazing job you have done building the oratory, will keep watching now, happy new year to you from Portsmouth England.

[@franpie2264]

Absolutely Fabulous. 💖🙏🙏💖

[@daveunbelievable6313]

i love this, i love latin catholic use of iconography, i hope one day every altar has an icon

[@leenewsom7517]

I was wondering where that stunning chapel was located -- now I know! Strikingly beautiful work and I love the 'heritage' nature of the iconographic imagery.

Un jour je construirais un oratoire comme celui la si Dieu le veut. Pour moi et ma famille.

Stunning work father. 🙏

[@catizma1]

Stunning! Excellent work, Johannes!

[@lelandpeck4585]

Beautiful, Johannes.

[@lindaempleo3137]

Wow, Johanna’s! I discovered you through Matijn Doolard. I first saw your Oratory when you showed him. At that time I thought it was lovely but watching you build, draw, and paint and even gold leaf everything yourself was very inspiring! When you have alone time in pondering and getting in touch with God is beyond words! It’s great to read and learn from the mystics such as Teresa of Avila etc.

[@mary_mildred]

Me too!

[@dorisschwabe1651]

[@g.christelbecker6349]

I have never heard of an oratory. What a miracelous thing! I want one!! Thank you for this inspiration and next time please, a lot slower.

[@donjojohannes]

If my knowledge of canon law still serves me right: Oratory is basically a private prayer room. Chapel it is called when it is official and public (and consecrated).
