This is so beautiful, and so true. He articulates the monastic vocation so well, and I wish I could print this out and hand it to people when they ask me why I am entering a monastic order!

PAX, did you translate this? if so, since you linked to my Gloria.tv upload, could i use the translation to make English substiles? i speak French but it would save me time! thanks.

EJames, I did translate this, and of course you can use it. It's only from 11-16 minutes in, though. Also, a small correction - when the Abbot is talking about approaching the monastery for the first time he also adds "c'est chez moi," which I forgot to include. Hope you find it useful!

These documentaries about monastic life are a-m-a-z-i-n-g and extremely helpful for those of us discerning a possible call to "the angelic life." Thank you for posting this link!

Before you had to approach a community not quite knowing what their life is like. Now you can watch a documentary about a community even before writing to the vocation director/novice master. Discerning vocations seems to be so much easier these days; I don't know why more Catholics aren't entering the priesthood/religious life with all these great resources online.

Pax et bonum,

A discerner in Canada.

For any women interested in a traditional Benedictine life, these monks have a "sister" convent very close by to their monastery - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCyTSTBD8YY[/media] - I'm sure many of you have already heard them sing!
I stayed with the nuns during Holy Week last year, and it was a beautiful experience. They have a guest house, but also welcome discerners into the cloister in order to experience their life. They have 2 American nuns there, too!
