Being at Mount Savior were some of my most peaceful, soulful times in my life. Miss it greatly

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY SOLEMN PLACE....🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯📖🕊🔥🌷

What a beautiful place.

I may start taking retreats from the world' insanity for peace, for quiet at some places I've learned of in Idaho. God knew we would need places of His serenity, and I think its why we've monks and brothers, sisters and nuns. Beautiful souls in a world truly in need of God' beauty.

It's so beautiful there and what a great community. The only thing I miss is the latin when they pray their "Liturgia Horarum" throughout the day from Laudes to Completorium.

I wish I would have become monk. This community,is so inspiring.

Me too! The call came a bit late-I was 40, married and a mom,and most monasteries won't accept you at that age. I think that is changing somewhat now. God calls when He calls. I discovered oblates. Check it out.

The Rules of St Benedict are very strict.Vows of obedience,chastity and poverty.All day and night praying .Canonical hours starting at midnight,following half an hour of meditation.Abnegagion of the secular world.The Capitulum is monthly.It means in the library being accused by the brothers of faults or sins on knees and hitting the floor with humiliation.All dedicated to God.The soul can be full of darkness.Etc.A vocation to serve full time to the Lord.

I enjoyed and learned a lot from it.May many more men be called...I will pray for that!

I lived at mount savior monastery during my teenage years and went to Notre Dame H. S. While living with Fr James as my guardian and spiritual father also, those were the greatest times running around the monastery as a teenager, I left the monastery after graduating high school and joined the US navy, I wanted to stay and become a monk, but I was told I was too young and I still needed to go out in the world and learn about it before making a decision, this all happened back between 1993 and 1995

i KNEW AND LOVED THE OLDER BROTHERS THAT HAVE NOW PASSED

I’m hurting and I’m disappointed with pope Francis. I’m upset about what’s happening to the holy Catholic Church. I’m Also struggling with SSA. Maybe I should go to this monastery for a retreat. Perhaps I will find what I’m looking for. “Peace, faith, love and acceptance. Regardless I will keep you all in my prayers. May God bless you all and your amazing community. I must have watched that hymn. They sung during Compline a few dozen times. It was so beautiful. And the brother that played the harp and sang was incredible. What a true blessing this monastery is. For the glory of God and the human race.

I went to this monastery on retreat in winter 2018. The monks were inhospitable, even hostile at times. The food was atrocious, believe me I’m not fussy but it was dreadful. I nearly froze to death in a more than basic room. Don’t go there looking for acceptance. A retreat won’t fix your problems just accept yourself as you are and start from there.

Mount Saviour ist das Kloster, in welches Bruder David Steindl-Rast in den 1950ern eingetreten ist. Von ihm kann man viel lernen.

Leider ist mein aktives englisch verloren gegangen. Jedoch verstehe ich Euch, liebe Brüder. Es ist mitreißend und wichtig diese Botschaft in die Welt zu tragen.!!!

THE ORDINARY IS A MIRACLE.

Mary said her Son was as a KIng when He rode into town on His donkey, Sunday.

Wish I had done this.

Existence never ends death is the same journey

One has to pursue this call in his late teens/early 20s. After that, one has too much life experience and it is incredibly easy to be ensnared by the material and corporeal temptations of the world. One also has to be a morning person. If you're not, forget it. It will never work. Some orders have services at midnight or 3 am. It wasn't for me. There is also a lot of farming and other back-breaking work. If you like having your own bathroom or a double/queen bed, forget that as well. Yes, there are moments of intense spiritual elation and the chant is glorious. The poverty aspect isn't really bad at all. It's actually quite liberating. Your nose will always be in a book so keep that in mind as well. No TV, no movies nor video games. Some orders are meatless. Wine on occasion. You'll never have a martini again. Focus is on the Lord and the community as a whole. It takes a very special and somewhat naive/altruistic person to make this life work. Dedication is key but it can be done!

Are you required to have a voice in order to join the monastery? I have watched several videos about Trappist Monasteries and all the voices were very accomplished. Not a tune deaf monk among them. So lovely.

If their vocations are falling the should take novices in their 50s who are healthy.

They pride themselves in having designed the chapel in anticipation of the liturgical changes of Vatican II. I think they were among the first places to have the NO Liturgy. I went there about 14 months ago for a retreat. Came away depressed. Dreary place, monks were not welcoming and indeed seemed pissed that they had visitors. The food was disgustingly bad, stale bread, the meals were eaten at breakneck speed (apparently it’s a thing there) leaving me and their other visitors desperately trying to eat fast, it seemed like a perverse game to the monks. I left early in the morning on the third day and I vowed never to go back. I don’t think it will be there much longer anyway, they have no vocations and most of the men in this video are dead now.
