  • to bad, this would have been a great video except for the music

  • Sorry it didn't work for you... it was a creative choice on my part... I watched it a few times without music and it seemed a bit long.

  • no problem, it needs music i am sure, i just personally think its the wrong choice/type..and the fact it is a  Hindu/buddhist/ pretty-hippie far eastern 'Syncretism' and 'Universalism'style sung by Trappists..., shows me how far the Trappists have fallen away from CATHOLIC CHRISTIAN Tradtion Monasticism.

    Armand de Rancé must be weeping in heaven...

  • @Catholiques Probably because it was an ecumenical situation and not just a Christian one.

  • corny music and too many people all at once trampling over sacred ground....definitely should be one or two at the most at any one time....take yer shoes off and reverence God and His servant that lived, prayed and cried here...

  • @Catholiques why not mute it...days should be to let the stream flow not to build a dam..mark maclellan 

  • wonderful... interesting the music.... beauty in simplicity... I am deeply moved.... thank you all!

  • I was a Trappist. I believe Fr. Lois would have laughed that people came as such. I understand and respect why, but I can hear him laughing. The music? Well intended but misses the target. he would have wanted the voices of his brothers chanting at Gethsemani.

  • Ruined by music.

  • 0:30 Beer bottle or bug spray on bench?

  • @JoabAnias In January we heard that men were permitted to visit at times

  • I was told by Br. Luke during Holy Week 2009 that the hermatege is now closed to visitors. Would have loved to have seen it.
