This amusing video is still popping up as suggested viewing, years after its production. I’ve been to Hauterive Abbey and know the community. Fr Luc gives a charming overview of the monastic ideal but he seems a bit insincere at times, almost to the point of not believing the message.
@@ologmonastery1049 I think you are not fair with your comment. Fr. Luc presents monastic life in a friendly and fun way. And he makes it clear that monastic life is the search for God and that He is present throughout the monk's journey. Greetings from Spain. God bless you.
A wonderful encapsulation of much of the rule of St Benedict. For those of us who cannot be monks, we can be oblates. For those who cannot be oblates we can still live by these rules.
Greetings Dear Monk. I love your words and it encourage me to like Christ..being a monk has been my vocation. Am a Nigerian. Padre Pio, and St. Maria Faustina has been my closest Saints...
Glad I found you on u tube. I'm subscribing and looking forward to many more videos! I'm a 72 year old way ward Catholic, you have helped already, thank you.
Fr Luc!!! You're such an inspiration! I never knew monks can be that cheerful and cool! I thought you're all quiet and serious. Wish I've seen your videos much earlier. Please do post more inspirational videos and please do give us more enlightenment regarding God and our relationship with God. God bless you Fr Luc and fellow-monks! :)
Very inspirational video, and beautifully presented. And a message I needed to hear as I get so distracted by the problems of this world. Beautiful cat by the way! Indeed one should love all creatures - they are all part of God's Creation.
Your short quotes are inspiring and enlightening. I look 4ward to many more. I honestly believe video technology is an effective way to evangelize young generations.
I live life as a self practicing monk. It is my life and it will bring one closer to God. It is a fulfilling life. It takes self discipline and commitment.
I am a protestant....my mom was from eastern Syriac orthodoxy and my dad was from eastern Syriac Marthoma church.....now we all have become protestant....I studied in Roman Catholic school attended Catholic Catechism.....I like becoming a monk....but this idea of being a monk is alien to protestants....I don't know what to do.....I like Catholic heritage and lifestyle including those living like a monk....but I don't agree to some teachings of Catholic church.....I don't know what to do....I love God's work....I love Jesus's and I love all Christians Catholics orthodox and protestants all I love in christ
0:57 ... From the Holy Rule of St. Benedict: "Regard all utensils and goods of the monastery as sacred vessels of the altar, aware that nothing is to be neglected." (Ch. XXXI) "If anyone, however, handleth the goods of the monastery slovenly or carelessly let him be reprimanded and if he doth not amend let him come under the discipline of the Rule." (Ch. XXXII)
This is a very large distinction between rules and constitutions for many follow the Rule of St. Benedict while having different constitutions. Nevertheless the monks of the Cistercian Order to which this monk belongs adhere to the Rule of St. Benedict as the Cistercians of the common observance and the strict observance are reforms of Benedictine monasticism.
It is used to represent the 5 wounds of Jesus. Some wise guy in the 19th century figured it could be outlined as a ram's head with two horns. So they stole it from us, just like St. Peter's cross symbol. But like I said before, it was being used in satanic theatrical events in the 19th century, so most likely the church was built before then or at least before the symbol was being seen as such.
I would like to get in contact with you. Not all of us are in houses. You are missing a point here. I would like to engage with you on that. You can PM me?
Simple message which speaks to the heart. Makes me wanna become a monk.
Hello Rafael! If God wants it, it will become true :). Be blessed! Fr. Luc

Hey Mr Monk what is a pentagram doing in the garden's window 1:22 ?
It is used to represent the 5 wounds of Jesus. Some wise guy in the 19th century figured it could be outlined as a ram's head with two horns. So they stole it from us, just like St. Peter's cross symbol. But like I said before, it was being used in satanic theatrical events in the 19th century, so most likely the church was built before then or at least before the symbol was being seen as such.

Wait, are monks vegetarians?
Trappists, Benedictines, Cistercians (like this monk) and Carthusians (no meat), and all of the Orthodox monks.
yes except in x-mas and easter
I would like to get in contact with you. Not all of us are in houses. You are missing a point here. I would like to engage with you on that. You can PM me?
Catholic?
Live like a Monk-ey!
I prefer a monastery with simpler architecture.
