I had the privilege of spending several days, then later just short of a month living behind the walls with these wonderful monks back in 2020. Ultimately deciding that I could never live there and never see home again. They don’t allow vacation time. One can only go back home in the event of an immediate family members death. I could never wrap my head around literally NEVER leaving the monastery. I moved on, but these warriors stayed in the monastery. Gods warriors. The unseen heroes of Holy Mother Church. God bless them.
@fotisvon9943 They have their own room, called a cell. Desk. Window. Small closet. Bed. Nightstand. You share a dormitory community bathroom and shower though.
*TRUE AND POWERFUL CONVERSION STORY AND A GREAT MIRACLES, OF A GREAT SINNER! March, 2022 Thank GOD for our LADY of GUADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012, and I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her. †Also, when I prayed few Rosaries to help me to quit smoking cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time, (prv 3: 5) †Truly, when I was inspired to recite one single Rosary in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer; but GOD still saved me (Jn 14:15 - 27)! Also During my first Rosary procession outdoors in May 13, 2001, I saw Queen of the Holy Rosary walking with us for 4-5 seconds; And she had long, dark, blue dress & absolutely attractive one. †Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm, and I NEVER miss it. †UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to the daily readings is like my "daily bread" And I read the Bible from cover to cover 3 times since my conversion! & I read the CCC as well, (Is. 55: 10 -11). Also, I like to what some one says: every winter turns into spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Ps.14:1) †Unfortunately, many "Catholics don't know what they have, and Evangelicals don't know what they are missing!" †And I used to attend few different Evangelical Churches for a few years searching for TRUTH while residing in Stockholm & they opened my eyes a LITTLE bid to the facts of faith at the time. † God is still in the miracle buisness. And thank God for the ROSARY miracle prayer, etc.(Ps. 107:13- 14 †"This is the day which GOD hath made a day for us to REJOICE & be GLAD" - Ps.118: 2 †By Saba Korial, & I was born in Middle East, now Canadian & Christian CATHOLIC & part of 1.360 Million world wide Catholics. (2 Tm 2:4 & 4:7). Note that the Name of God is mentioned 3 times while praying the ROSARY as follow: first the LORD, then Jesus & GOD (RV 3:10). † "Brothers & sisters pray for me that I may NOT flee for fear of wolves"(TERRORISTES)." - Acts (20: 23 - 24) †"A believer sees more on his knees than a philosopher sees on his tiptoes" D.L. Moody **Copy & google the following very interesting videos in RU-vidS, etc.: 1.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HGiQxEVC8oI.html 2.WoW:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GaLaQqsCWVs.html 3. former pastor of the largest Church now Catholic! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dalBtKmvogU.html 4. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IMY5PCCjdlE.html&feature=share 5.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bg7IXTo0LPI.html *"IT'S BETTER TO KNOW SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAN ALL OF THE ANSWERS" -James Thundber *NEW BOOK by Steve Weidenkopf: " Light from Darkness: Nine Times the Catholic Church Was in Turmoil-and Came Out Stronger Than before" * FORMER EVANGELICAL PROFESSOR: "Weak Catholics Become Protestants Strong Protestants..."
