What the reporter doesnt understand is that compared to knowing and experiencing God, everything else is garbage, even playing music. She keeps going on about "all that they're giving up" but she doesnt get it, those brothers dont see it as giving up anything, to them the world is empty and transitory, and when you know God, when you've experienced the sweetness of God theres literally nothing or nobody that can compare. She doesnt get this because she doesnt know God, she only knows "The world" and because of this she cant comprehend trading in the world for God.

Impressive guys. I couldn't do 5%. Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I am always amazed at how happy cloistered nuns and monks are. Mother Angelica's nuns will talk with big smiles on their faces. I could never lead this live but I, a sinner, envy their joy and peace.

Nothing could be greater than to give your life to God. Greetings from Ireland.☘️

Very Franciscan! What this young man gives up are the distractions of life that pull us away from listening to the voice of Christ, opening up to God's grace. I have no doubt it can seem hard, but the joy of that life: immeasurable.

A vocation is a calling a willingness to live for God alone. You either have a calling or you do not. You are free to leave the order at any time. God bless you all dear monks🙏
