Trappist monks trace their history through 1,700 years of Western civilization. In this documentary, the reality of monastic life, as lived at Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery in South Caroline, combines with fascinating images of the past to explore how the humility, contemplation, and simple life of monks fit into the modern world.
When you think no one else is thinking of you or praying for you, there are the trappists of Mepkin Abbey. While we were yet sinners, Christ dies for us. While we were still sinning, monks pray for us. Unconditional love, defined by action.
