    They may not have a brewery but they certainly have a distillery at La Grande Chartreuse, they make Chartreuse liqueur. I´m not personally religious but saw "Into Great Silence" and found it somehow profoundly moving.

    Thank you Father, I’ve always been and probably always will be skeptical about just about everything I hear, but your video has given me guidance. I need to understand that it’s OK to be skeptical, and to not understand, but to do so from a place of faith - and most importantly, not give up. Thank you again.

    Please Fr Stephen,replace the word Christian with the word Catholic because the word Christian incorrectly includes protestant’s who are NOT Christian! Only Jesus can found a Church NOT man. The Bible a Catholic book condemns protestantism and orthodoxy. And the orthodox have NO sacrament’s. It’s just Catholic NOT Catholic Christian. God bless. Ps please pray for Erin May me simon and our intention’s thank you. Also it’s Catholic priesthood NOT Christian.

      One of the steps of the consecration is to go to confession. Just plan to confess your mortal sin and take the Eucharist on the 33rd day.

    Only Jesus christ has the power and authority to make intercession for us in Heaven. No other saint - Prophets, mother Mary, Disciples of Jesus or any other People who's souls are in paradise. 💥Hebrews 7:22-28 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they, who truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue their priesthood by reason of death: But this man( Jesus) because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing, HE ever liveth to make intercession for them( only He liveth) For such an high priest became like us, who is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, Separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

    Does the Bible record any statement of Jesus , in which He said, we can ask, or pray to: any prophets, saints of the church, mother Mary or His disciples, to inspire God to give what we adk for !!??? Did Jesus say that such prayers will be answered speedily and definitely!!!???? NO!!! He said : pray ,ask ,in My Name - JESUS NAME ! Who has authority to decide , other than Jesus Christ the Lord, the Saviour and God himself , as, to whom to pray to or whom to ask or through whom to pray, to get our prayers answered !!??? Now in certain beliefs, Why is mere human beings allowed to decide, or how could mere himan beings decide and teach, whom to pray to or through whom to pray!!??? We should follow the Words and teaching of Jesus, isnt it!!!??? St John 15:7 Jesus Christ said: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. St John 14:14-15 Jesus Christ said: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
