Wow....i am catholic from Asian, this is my first time heard about the Norbetines, this is so different experience for me....i follow the prayer and learn about them and the feeling is so different so peaceful and so deep...i pray to all of our Priest may god bless them always...
Lol, maybe you need to go back to AsiaN and stop speaking english. Why do you reward colonization so by speaking their language??? Every religion can be spruced up to induce a feeling of peace in people. You apply the same film production here to Buddhism or Islam, and you'll get the same result and the same revival. And btw, why is their God always aligned with their geopolitical objectives? A very strange god, isn't it? I guess that should remain the transparent mystery, as He the God sits in the very man-made philosophical gap designed to justify His existence.
Thats great that they offer the Tridentine mass. I did talk to a priest who went to their high school to study and he told me that they say the new mass in latin currently but when he was their they celebrated their own rite of mass.
Not a hymn as such - it's the 'Exultet' from the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. The first phrase you hear is "Gáudeat et tellus, tantis irradiáta fulgóribus: et ætérni Regis splendóre illustráta. [Be glad, let Earth be glad, as glory floods her: ablaze with light from her eternal King]". I know the Norbertines have their own chant melodies, distinct from the Roman, so what we're hearing here we will only hear from the Norbertines. I think it's beautiful.
@treeloop98 - The Norbortines celebrate the Traditional Latin Tridentine Mass every Sunday at 12:00 pm & on Holy Days of Obligation at 7:00 pm at St. Mary's by the Sea in HB. They also celebrate the Traditional Latin Tridentine Mass at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Costa Mesa California every Sunday at 12:30 pm. GOD Bless +++
@fool1shmortal I've been to the abbey and although I am not sure about the wine farming the chanting is very real and quite beautiful. I think the video references to the wine is only a metaphor. It is mainly a school and parish. The Latin Mass is quite moving with the Gregorian chanting. It takes me back.
If Holy Mother Church has lost her moral authority, then who has moral authority? The Church has been guided by the Holy Spirit since her founding by Jesus Christ, and a few wayward individuals doesn't stop God's grace from flowing through the Church. Memento Mori, Carpe Diem. Ad Omne Bonum Opus Parati. I would love to join the Premonstratensians. Shoutout to Father Damien, Father Charbel, and Frater David.
This promotional video is so well, done. Who produced, edited, directed it? I am beyond impressed!! I would love to hire or work with a producer like this in the future.
Salve carissimi frater!! I've been trying to understand the lyrics of the background gregorian chants, but I can't do that. Would you please tell me the names of the chants? Thank you very much! Eduardo from Brazil
@CarlosBarrera393 The background music comes from the CD called "Anthology: Chants and Polyphony by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's". Some of the especially prominent parts come from the song Exultet from the CD.
@dilworth1130 They celebrate the new mass but I believe they celebrate the 1962 missal on occasion or they know how to celebrate it. They filled in for the former pastor of St. Mary's by the Sea before Bishop Brown took it away from that parish.
Do they really chant like that? The vid makes you want to join. I couldn't be one of the farming ones, though. That and anything with food is not my strength.
I don't think it is fair to say the whole church is at fault. The few bad individuals within the church were the ones who needed to be brought to justice. I don't like the abusers either, they don't speak for the mother church and if they do, don't count me in.
WIth all due respect, who is the target audience for this video? It is too Hollywood to attract other than 18 year olds. Perhaps that 's the target age?
@Cara Dofheicthe The way you describe it that sound good. I was a member of that community for two years, and we never had these sorts of attempts to attract youths to the religious life.
