These videos are wonderful! You have inspired me to pray to St. Benedict and just today, purchased his medal and the prayer to St. Benedict. Thank you.
I just found the channel and have enjoyed so much. I feel so blessed after watching your videos and vlogs. For decades now I have considered going back to school and majoring in theology. My love for the Lord is overflowing, and I am so grateful that he gave his life for me. It sounds so serene there, but with all your daily tasks I am sure it’s filled with a lot of work assignments, but most especially meditation and reflection. I’m going to look into more background and see if indeed you even have retreats for those who just need a spiritual lift in life. I live in Southwest Florida and have been through two very severe hurricanes in the past three weeks. I am blessed that there has been no damage to my home or entry to my body. But so many here are less fortunate. And, it breaks my heart. May God bless you and keep you safe in His care. Doug
Thank you Brother Francisco. I've been praying the Liturgy of the Hours a bunch of times with different monastic communities in my country Colombia and I never realized the fact you mentioned that senior monks according to their rank and junior monks as well had to leave the choir in their respective order. Thank you Brother. God bless you all at St Vincent!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would love to learn about how new monasteries/abbies/houses are started. You have frequently mentioned that your vow of stability ties you to St. Vincent in a particular way rather than the wider order. How does that work when it seems like time to branch out into a new place?
Its really odd the only other time I have heard the term procurator is in Scotland with there procurator fiscals who is like a coroner/public investigator. I'm guessing though it must have the same historical basis but its odd that the roles aren't smiler
@zzzaaayyynnn depending on the seriousness, such things will potentially be dealt with directly by the Abbot. If it's less serious, it will more likely be taken care of by the prior

That was a great explanation Br Francisco! God bless you 🙏❤️
That was really cool. I've always wondered how all that works
Thank you brother. Your happiness is contagious, may our loving Father bless us all .

@TheJeffry11 Praise God you're safe! We've been praying for FL!
Great explanation of Abbot vs Prior

I bet it's all good in the brotherhood.

Does St. V have Claustral Oblates? If so, where do they fit in seniority? Above/below novices?
@@michaelperigo6746 we used to back in the day buy we don't anymore
I have a question, Br. Francisco. Who deals with personal issues like arguments among brothers?
@zzzaaayyynnn depending on the seriousness, such things will potentially be dealt with directly by the Abbot. If it's less serious, it will more likely be taken care of by the prior

if you decide to visit the monastery don't go out after 11....
What about Martin Luther, he was a monk
At 3.44 min in, you state "God calls you to that life" How so ? is it a voice, peer pressure, parents. Be specific to this calling.
