From the Little Mountain: Reflections on Orthodox Christian Monasticism [Full DVD]

Filmed and edited by the monks themselves, From the Little Mountain takes you through a year at the hermitage of the Holy Cross in West Virginia. Herein is portrayed some of the beauty and struggle of monastic life using quotes from the Scriptures and the Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church. Insights about monastic life from one of the senior monks at the monastery are given as you are visually taken through the Church liturgical year and the changing seasons in the mountains. This is a unique documentary of an Orthodox monastery in the 21st century, but the imagery and principles set forth are as ancient (and relevant) as those written by the 6th century instructor of monks, Abba Dorotheos.

One of the few great videos I saw about monasticism. I like that they show in this video what really is monasticism.

Where does the quote at 17 min come from? Does anyone know? Or the earlier one about the perilous nature of the world ?
