Great video, but I'm not sure what is the fist like minute means...

[mapollo]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "the fist like minute"

[dinkrot]

everything that is written from 20seconds in to 48 seconds in. Am I supposed to be able to understand what that means? b/c I def. do not understand it at all.

[mapollo]

Those are the last passages from the Canticle of Brother Sun by St. Francis. If we have surrendered truly to the will of God, then when we die, that death will not harm us, because Christ conquered death. You may want to read the whole canticle, it's quite beautiful and perhaps will be more meaningful. There is also a connection with scripture passages..which were used in our retreat.

To know the cross is to know the love of Christ.

The greatest love overcoming the greatest imaginable evil.

Thanks for sharing the video with me :)

God bless you

pace e bene

[mapollo]

You're welcome. :)

Stand fast. Wear the armor of light.

Pace e bene.

"To suffer, believing in God, is humility" Thank you for reminding us of why we "offer up" to God in this time of Lent.

[mapollo]

Thanks Steve. Thomas Merton was a wonderfully wise man of God.
