Greetings from Indian oriental church of Malabar. Your Gregorian chant is very beautiful and angelic. Please do pray for the wellbeing of humanity and society.
@@EkoHermiyanto I think that he was referring to the fact that Catholic in the west are under attack by secularism, anti-Christian sentiments and modernization. This monastery is clearly traditionalist, which the Orthodox respect.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS ONE OF THE GUILTIEST ENTITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR MASSIVE OVER-POPULATION PROBLEM IN THE WORLD AND ALL THE EXTREME MISERY AND UNSPEAKABLE SUFFERING WHICH IS CAUSED BY IT. The sooner we get rid of Catholicism the sooner the world can heal from the Church's centuries of evil it has caused to the world. Just as Jesus condemned the evil Pharisees, the church of His time, so should we condemn and be rid of the evil that is the Catholic Church.
Hayden J : Yes, l 'll pray for you... Hard to believe that some people 'are searching God, but billions are insulting God by dwelling in sin.....free sex....drugs, terrorism. May God bless you bro...in everything you do...Amin....
One of my nun teachers (circa 1957) once told our class that it was the prayers of the many monks/nuns that says the Hand of GOD from messing up this place (the world) and can believe it.
Our Lady Buena Succeso: “No one on the face of the earth realizes whence comes the salvation of souls, the conversion of great sinners, the deferral of great scourges, the production and fertility of the land, the end of pestilence and wars and the harmony among nations. All this is due to the prayers that rise up from monasteries and convents.”
Monastic life is very beautiful. For a brief time I considered becoming a Franciscan monk and stayed at Marytown in Illinois outside of Chicago. I left and got married my best friend at the time stayed on and was ordained a priest. This was in the late 1960's. Seven years ago we served together in Mexico; he a priest me a lay missionary. We're still friends today and my wife and I have been married for nearly 30 years! Together we have 15 kids including grandkids. Life has been good praise GOD; and it ain't over yet!
My parish here in Wales GB is served by Benedictine moks from Hereford, they are all very kind and to go listen to singing at the Abbey is a beautiful experience, thank God for them all, we must pray constantly the world's in peril Gods blessing to everyone, Christine.
Such a beautiful place, the monks here are awesome. A friend and I spend Thanksgiving here and it was one of my favorite places I’ve ever been to. God bless this place and the monks who live here ✝️
I love watching this video over and over again, it is so inpiring. I pray that God will give you good health and the seed of love for vocation especially in the consecrated life will grow a hundred folds. The world needs you today... God bless
This monastery is a lot more beautiful than many I've seen on CZcams. I like the way it blends with the canyon and the sun. I don't believe any of it, but I admire the way people commit themselves to what they believe in and there is beauty in that.
Most important for me is watching their faces, they are in good mood, their faces show happyness and peace, for sure the faith is the most important living in a monastery, but this seems a very good community to praise our Lord, it may go on for centuries.
The more simplistic a monastery' chapel is, for me, the more beautiful. Christ did not live in wealth and fanciful things, but in the ways of the poor and the simplistic. Beautiful residence, monks... God bless you all. Jesus, have mercy on us poor sinners, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Amen!
Iconoclasts can be ominous. I prefer the full spectrum from Chartres Cathedral to the Pieta to Palestrina. Franciscans gladly make room for Benedictines and Jesuits, etc. Each charism has its gifts to offer the Body.
I think we can have legitimate tastes on simplicity and ostentation. But remember that Christ humbled Himself and was then exalted. We as His followers and worshippers must also exalt Him. This through our deeds and faith most importantly and also through our churches and liturgy. If simplicity is beautiful in your eyes then go. What I disagree with is that poor looking churches are better because Christ was poor. Let us not impoverish the God of heaven and earth in our churches when our States have beautiful government buildings.
I have been there. I have stayed there as a guests for a long weekend. I miss it! ! ! ! It has changed a lot but I certainly would go back and by the Grace of God, I will go back for a visit. Wonderful experience. Never forget it.
Relationship with God is the best thing in the world to have. Worshipping God is the key to finding God and connecting with him. It must come from the heart and not religion.
I'm a Buddhist, but something has always attracted me to monasticism, at least for the past decade or so. Though I worry my primary motivation would be at least partially selfish in a desire to engage in serious practice and escape the insanity of the outside world.
I feel the same but I'm an introvert and I feel like I am drawn to it due to selfish reasons and to escape the world instead of honest and pure sincerity in it
This is awesome. I first came into contact w chant when I walked into a friend's dorm room and he was studying. I went and got my books, and we studied together. Chant is "eternity calling to eternity." Thank you so much, Monks of the Desert!
Danke für Ihr Aufzeigen einer guten, dankbaren Sicht auf das Leben. Ich wünsche mir; egal welcher Form von gewünschtem/ gedachten Lebens diese /Ihre Einsicht. DANKE, liebe Mönche.
Remarkable quote that some monks says in this video: 1. It's hard to sing a long piece of music with a lot of notes, and that forms a good community - when we sing together. 2. For you to be able to listen, you have to be quiet inside.
Christ called his apostles to go forth and teach all nations on the word of God and to baptize them in the name of the father,son and holy spirit. Our mission as Catholics is to defend our faith and to bear witness to the life of Christ. I am not disrespecting the monks way of life. It is faith in action we may show.
I have gr8 respect n admiration for this way of life... My humble prayer to monks plz pray for ppl trapped in wrong way of life..those who are in drug cartel n human traffiking. Live from India ...n wishi g you monks with high esteem much more happiness n health in your spirituality. Shower your blessing through prayers over all of us humans. To be more prayerful.. God bless us all.😇😇🤗🤗
+Giuseppe The monks ARE doing a lot, firstly through prayer as well as touching peoples lives who visit there and get inspired by them. Prayer is FIRST and MOST important in the Christians life. Without God we can do nothing and prayer brings us closer to God. So, no these people are NOT useless to God but instead are doing much for him.
+Giuseppe How do you know that they have no actions? Why be so judgmental when you know so little about their lives and only the little that you have seen? God alone knows about their lives and it is for God that they are living their lives so who are you to judge? I am certain they are loving their neighbour as they ought.
+Giuseppe no, actions for God. All you need to do is research the saints and you will find that the majority lived a religious life and a religious life is firstly centred on prayer.
+Giuseppe Would you mind telling me please where in the bible that it says that Jesus despised religion? In Matthew 26:17 it says that the disciples asked Jesus where he would want them to prepare for him to eat the passover. The passover is a Jewish religious event and Jesus actually told them where and how he wanted them to prepare for it. If he despised religion as you say, he would of told them to not bother with the passover.
+Giuseppe Jewish tradition as part of the Jewish religion. If Jesus integrated in his culture then that means it was totally important as he is God in the flesh. Not sure how you conclude that those monks don't think that they are sinful. Yes they are just like everyone else and seek God as others do.
Giuseppe you obviously have not experienced the higher levels of prayer , In fused Contemplation , infused ! that's a gift from God ! This is a calling ! It may not be for you , but it is for these monks , holy blessed men....I am called but unfortunately will have to live in the outside world as a Cenobite , due to age. But , unfortunately people don't undertstand because they have not had experiential knowledge of God in a supernatural way ( meaning beyond what man can do or produce prayer wise). When these higher gifts are received , life /God is Sublime , profound , well honestly there are just no words to describe his Majesty ! Mercy Lord .
Friend, we are not saved by good works. Lets see what The Bible says: Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 4:4-6 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. Romans 3:24-26 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Acts 16:30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. It is evident by these verses that salvation is by faith alone and not works.
@Mountaindewand just how do you know what GOD wants from Rod? Who died and made you GOD? Any life style is acceptable to OUR LORD. Ever heard of the Essenes?
7:55 I'm gonna guess this was filmed in March of 2011 since the monk mentions Japan in their prayers. That was the month of that major earthquake and tsunami that destroyed many coastal areas of Japan. There's also the fact that it's snowing in this video, and snow seems possible in New Mexico at that time.
God bless you Father. You should visit St. Anne's in San Diego. It is the most beautiful parish in San Diego. May Our Blessed Mother keep you. Please, communion kneeling and in the tongue.

My advice become a full time monk; if you're married with kids and a career become a monk on a part-time basis by joining a 3rd order (Franciscan, Dominican, etc).
I looked at the visiting calendar and it seems difficult to find a vacant room for 4-5 days. I am in Houston Tx, and a 15 hour drive is not that bad......just finding the time.

Greetings and love from an Orthodox Christian. Traditionalist Catholics please pray for Christendom and the West!
Thank you Seeker 'cause we sure need all the prayers we can get. Let's both pray for each other, okay? Peace and all things good.

Although they live a simple life, there is very less or almost no stress involved. Most importantly, no temptation that this world has to offer
God bless those monks and all the people watching this video!
I listen often to monks doing Gregorian chants. It’s amazing
I was there the week these interviews were recorded. The monks are so lovely and the monastery is beautiful.
Wow!
The world needs more Monks... they pray for all of us ! Thank you and may all of the monks in this video be given the gift of Infused Contemplation :)
I agree. I want to dedicate my life to such a life and it is why I am entering the monastery within a few weeks. I pray for you all. Pray for me too

No, its on the way to Chama NM
I want to go there in October of 2020. I wonder if I could stay there.
Their paintings, singings and robes are so similar to Orthodox, maybe because they are established before the Great Schism.
