My uncle was a Trappist monk and one of the fondest memories of my life was when my family and I visited him in his monastery in Spain. I must have been not older than five. I remember the solemn and beautiful gregorian chants and the monks prostrated on the floor in prayer. Being only five, I had the privilege of visiting the cloistered area of the monastery by my uncle's hand. I dare to say, probably the only woman who ever entered it to this day!! I can describe every room as if I was there right now. I was too young to know it at the time, but the feeling of having been in a piece of Heaven on Earth, as I can discern it today, was very real. What an incredibly privileged call from God, is the life of these men.
So glad you got to visit. I always heard it was adios forever when it comes to anything on the outside - especially for Trappists. Reckon it is different for each order. :-) Blessings, everyone.
I'm home sick with a nasty head cold and won't go back to work until tomorrow. This past hour I spent today, Jan 25th, 2018, was extremely well spent watching this video! I am Catholic and am now renewed by the words and works of these monks. Very inspiring and uplifting. It makes me more fervent in my morning offering and meaning the words I say ... "offering my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day..." One monk said something that I will remember: that every day distractions are like a 'drug' and interfere with our prayer life. Wow! Hits home to me.
Bought urns for both of my parents from New Melleray Abbey, which are built and blessed by the monks. That gave me great comfort when I needed it the most.
I purchased from them very often and love what I get. I open each thing with a prayer. I am Eastern Orthodox but that doesn't matter when it comes to faith in God. You either have it deeply or you don't. I do!
Beautiful .... When I was younger and living in Minnesota, I would go there once or twice each year - for many years. I was never drawn to that life, but I was drawn to enjoy the richness of life they shared with their guests. Sadly, as I watch "churches" rise throughout the country, focused on prosperity and fundamentalism, I ache what is now so often overlooked - the live of prayer, of work for your keep, and of generosity - letting all who come there to be welcomed as Christ. What a gift to the world and to humanity these silent protesters are - quietly voicing the value of a heart at one with God, and celebrating the constant invitation of unconditional love. Thank you my hidden friends. May the road rise to me you, the sun shine on your face, and your hearts filled full as you rest in the palm of God. Be well, in your well spent life ....
As I watch the many RUclips videos about contemplative life, I marvel at the uniqueness of each community. Though all have pretty much the same goal as the object of the vocation, like the individuals who are the souls in formation, each has a God given spark within them which is unique. God bless all monastics and their diverse communities worldwide.
Fantastic documentary. As a former Friar I still relish the silence when you can start listening to God, listening to others, and listening with the ear of your heart to your most deepest self.
I so admire and grateful to those men who offered themselves wholeheartedly to God through monastic life. For many are called but few are chosen. God bless you and I continue to pray for more harvest to do God's vineyard in monastic life.
This was so uplifting. I’m watching it from Australia in the middle of the Carona Virus Pandemic. It has brought peace to my heart and clarity to my mind. Thank you. PS I have visited Mount Mellary in Ireland a number of times as a child in Ireland and also as an adult two years ago. God bless you to each dear Monk and THANK YOU for your life of love.
What a beautiful video. I'm watching this in early 2021 while we are still in the midst of the virus pandemic in the USA, really the whole world. If the people who had lost their loved ones during this time could think of them as treasures being put in to a treasure chest for the Lord, what a wonderful comfort that would be.
I love watching this and I have watched it many times. It makes me a little sad to think that I missed the boat and ended up in this chaotic life in which I am forced to contend with so many distractions and difficulties. I long for a peaceful contemplative like without constant interruption. But I am grateful to these men and their constant prayer. As well as this video. It is a blessing.
What a gift this has been. I lived close to the Benedictine Abbey in Mission BC Canada. I frequently attended mass there and one retreat. The coffins are a great spiritual gift and knowing we are being prayed for by these holy men brings me such splice. Be well all those who watch this and embrace its call to Holy Simplicity. Our lives in the world can embrace parts of the Rule of St Benedict.
A wonderful example of the Communion of Saints, the Church Militant! How comforting to know that these men are praying for us, day and night, especially during these difficult times of COVID-19
This is such a moving video. Thanks to our monks for their life of love and prayer. Understanding the forest and the stability of community life, is so powerful in this video.
Wow, i feel so blessed just for having watched this video. It encourages me to continue to seek moments of prayer throughout the day with an alternating rhythm of labor and community life. Many Thanks & Blessings:-) These monks are so holy and gentle.
Paddy hi . myself and my wife go to mellery co Waterford in ireland regularly, and walk around the grounds . It's so peaceful there . The monk's are so kind and helpful, they love the chat . They work the land as well . The grow what they want to eat . They milk cows grow vegetables. Unfortunately there numbers are getting smaller and smaller all the time . I'm from Ireland myself(. Love your comment by the way)
We are Blessed ! Blessed and always will be while we are here on earth and hopefully afterwards as well I thank God for the Monasteries through the World. I have visited several and spent a three day weekend at Christ in the Desert Monastery. Wonderful experience! I Thank God For That Visit And Hope And Pray That I Will Be Able To Return. Ken Korges Dallas, Texas
I just learned about the Cistercians- The Trappists. Your history was mentioned in Boston tonight in Cardinal Sean O'Malley's Holy Thursday Mass. My son told me about a related movie that we intend to watch. It is beautiful to know that the your caskets are made with such love and care & blessed in such a beautiful way. We all need to experience your peace & quiet in holy silence. Thank You for this great video. God bless your holy life's work. We hope you have many join your work of God.
I have spent time at this monastery - such a wonderful blessing - beautiful experiences - it's been many years but I still remember and long to be there again - so much peace, joy and love are present ❤
Beautiful, Very Moving documentary, about the life of the Trappist Monks at Melleray Abbey!!! (I also like to Plan, and Work hard, then Pray, and Meditate). This video, is so Peaceful to experience... Thank You All so much!!!
Father God bless these men of God who have dedicated their lives to you Lord. Wow, such a blessing to me to have stumbled across this video presentation. See, how this modern medium is spreading the gospel message to humanity. It’s beautiful ! Can you imagine if the world embraced these teaching of Christ, how better our world would be ? Continue to pray, don’t stop.
There is a Trappist monastery near where I grew up in Northern California and they produce amazing wines. You are prayer warriors for the Church and a treasure.
Beautiful and moving. I have been trying to meditate and pray at this time of quiet during the pandemic, and this inspires me. They are truly holy and gentle men. The love of others, children of God, that is shown when they make caskets is very moving. If only we would all love one another like that.
So beautiful when the monk was talking about the caskets! I am dying of pancreatic cancer here in the UK. Sadly I can't afford one, but will pray for all those who await THAT DAY in one of those. A treasure indeed! God Bless you all ❤
I've been here many times on Retreat, a Wonderful place for Healing, good food too, I love Father Xavier, (he was there in the 1984,) and I like the Gregarian Chants at 4 A.M.
Linda I'm new to social media but, once I used capitals thinking it was a good idea if people had bad eye sight etc,.but , I was informed its viewed as if your roaring and not done.Im only saying what I was informed of.Hope I don't offend😃🤔😌
I went to secondary school { high school } in Mount Mellary in Ireland back in the 1950’s. They had a farm there and the monks lived a similar life to that portrayed in the video. Brought back some memories watching this.Fathers Stephen,Coriolanus(Corry) Bonaventure, and a great lay teacher Jack McCarthy.
Desearía ser como uno de ellos.....La Belleza Consagrada al encuentro de la Verdad.... Gracias por mostrar este vidrio,nos inspira a seguir viviendo....Pido vuestras Bendiciones...Luis.
This is soooo well done and God inspired. So simple yet God's love speaks to us powerfully through these beautiful and holy monks. How beautiful the connection between the work and prayer of the monks and the making of caskets - making a cradle for a treasure - a treasure of a soul! Alleluia! Thank you for blessing me (a diocesan priest who has entered the struggle with the secular spirit of the world) and so many others who will lay ears and eyes upon this production - and thank you to the monks for continuing to answer the call to this most meaningful vocation +++
Easter Joy and Thanksgiving to you brothers in Jesus Christ... I hope to have the blessing of your loving work to surround me one day until the day of rising with my bothers and sisters in Christ.
Thank you so very much for sharing this amazing history and the amazing men of like mind, that love God the earth and Our future in it. You have blessed all that fall upon this video by divine intervention. I needed so very much to find a kind heart this day. Thank you again. May God Bless You And All You Love. A fellow citizen of Iowa.
I still desire to be a monk. most monasteries turn me away because i'm 42 n my army service made me depressed n I have diabetes. I feel guilty fer not joining a monastery right after high school graduation. I still feel a calling to be servant of Christ. mom had lupis, so part reason fer going army id to help her medical needs. now my mom is healed, I need healing. been through a lot in life. I continue a journey of repentence. mom is healed n feel in her heart that if I would become a monk, she would be provoded for by God. monastery vids make my heart happy. I visited a convent at a hard time in my life, I felt great peace n joy. I hope to see more yur vids. Christ bless you all, and give youpeace. hugs. :)
Courage to you! I hope you will reach your goal! Prayers. As a Belgian, I often go to the Abbey of Scourmont(Chimay). It totally regenerates me! ruclips.net/video/R6HIM3PGyl0/видео.html It is the monastic community that makes Chimay beer Maybe another monastery in the United States would accept you?
Ask God to guide you, He will and if it is His Holy Will you will become a monk, but He also may have other plans for you, just LISTEN. LOVE AND JOY TO YOU XXX
27 minute mark: Trees, are really marvelous...magical things! You're going along and suddenly you come across this thing shooting right out of the ground! Sometimes going up so high its like they touch the sky. God has given us such a magical place to live in, Trees, and Blue...Thought up Blue... Now That's What I Call a Creator!!!
These men are wonderful in surrendering their lives to God, especially those who gave up sucessful professional careers. As they age, who provides nursing care for these men? Do they celebrate each others birthdays, and do they have contact with their families? Thank you to the brother who described his prayer life for others.
I plan to purchase caskets from them when the time comes for the future. The caskets are beautiful ; they also bless the caskets and so this provides an additional blessing for the dead (IMHO). BTW, the abbey is a magnificent building; the construction must have taken some while !
Wonderful! Thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of ALL of us peoples on earth. Your prayers are so important is these sad times. Prayers from The Great South Land; Land of The Holy Spirit. 19/04/2020: MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL, especially with many holy men to augment your ranks.
Several years ago I was part of the Cistercians online. Wish I had not left, really as time went on. Now cannot find where I found the site. But I also know only so many are accepted at any time. But this is lovely to be part of an ongoing part of the church even when online and being able to consider various bible verses and sharing with community online and various other things. So glad this is here on You Tube so we can see this Abbey. I know for me, I could not actually make a yearly trip, but I can at least see part here and know even more about it! TY Many blessings
I am Irish imagine a few monks wented to America and survived in a ship from to get away from the famine and create a beautiful place in America 900 years ago a few Irish monks god bless them and bless you all Anna families that we have peace I might go forgive me me and my sins and I'm sorry for a lot of things I've done and my past and present please grant me the serenity to accept the things I can change and the wisdom to know the difference amen
The way the Monk describes the casket made by human hands sounds like Holy Communion. Beautiful. I wish I could be laid to rest in a Trappist casket.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have visited this monastery. It's beautiful. As a woman I made my private vows to the Lord here. It was moving. I can't imagine how the chance to change could have taken place without this monastery. Cistercian life is a good life. I'm hoping for one of their caskets, someday.🤗🌼💕😇🤲🏻🙏
Un lugar donde la vida no se rija por el negocio; un lugar sin compra-venta, un lugar de oración donde no se demanda para sí sino para los demás , un lugar donde todo lo ofrece Dios gratuitamente...
Let us pray that our Church unites once again after 1500 years. Things take a very long time and we have just begun speaking at the church level so I hope that one day there is one church again. I don't need any blasting of the Pope which I have seen before that isn't Christian and it's not love it is spewing hatred!

This community clearly needs many more young people.
Pray for just that and also talk about it often. It may just plant a seed that God can nurture.

This is inspiring and I Thank for these beautiful Holy Men! May God Bless them and reward them now and forever!

They take care of their own aging brothers right there at the Abbey
From Misión Cruz Hermitage in Somerset, Texas. Blessings to the Monks.
This documentary changed my life. Thank you
I plan to purchase caskets from them when the time comes for the future. The caskets are beautiful ; they also bless the caskets and so this provides an additional blessing for the dead (IMHO).
BTW, the abbey is a magnificent building; the construction must have taken some while !
This was a wonderful uplifting and calming documentary. Gave me food for thought. Just what I needed during Corona. Thank You!

Several years ago I was part of the Cistercians online. Wish I had not left, really as time went on. Now cannot find where I found the site. But I also know only so many are accepted at any time. But this is lovely to be part of an ongoing part of the church even when online and being able to consider various bible verses and sharing with community online and various other things. So glad this is here on You Tube so we can see this Abbey. I know for me, I could not actually make a yearly trip, but I can at least see part here and know even more about it! TY Many blessings

The community is aging. I hope there will be new members.
It's all up to Jesus calling men. It's all up to men choosing. Jesus doesn't force anyone to enter religious life.

I grew upin Dubuque. I remember going with my parents to mass there. I was raised Catholic.
I used to see this place at a distance as I went home from college. It looked like the most beautiful anachonism!
U r lucky bro

Wowwwwww
What state is this located??????
So wonderful learning sharing each other children of God fulness of life. Fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤
The way the Monk describes the casket made by human hands sounds like Holy Communion. Beautiful. I wish I could be laid to rest in a Trappist casket.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
the world needs so much monasticism.
I have visited this monastery. It's beautiful. As a woman I made my private vows to the Lord here. It was moving. I can't imagine how the chance to change could have taken place without this monastery. Cistercian life is a good life. I'm hoping for one of their caskets, someday.🤗🌼💕😇🤲🏻🙏
Un lugar donde la vida no se rija por el negocio; un lugar sin compra-venta, un lugar de oración donde no se demanda para sí sino para los demás , un lugar donde todo lo ofrece Dios gratuitamente...
Let us pray that our Church unites once again after 1500 years. Things take a very long time and we have just begun speaking at the church level so I hope that one day there is one church again. I don't need any blasting of the Pope which I have seen before that isn't Christian and it's not love it is spewing hatred!
"...make justice your sacrifice and trust in the Lord"
So beautiful life!
I like to be one of them.
In the last days, " many will be called; few chosen"
Nicely done. God Bless the Trappists
The Kingdom of God is within and within is what survives Death.
Excellent thank you
I feel like i missed my calling. Nice to get a view of it virtually, i suppose
