Cool.
"Here's the thing..."
I agree, sounds like a very interesting movie - and way of life.
Peeping tomism?
God and the Christian message are enough for everyone. We should take the time to pray more, myself included. Unfortunately we all find excuses for not taking the time. There would be a lot more peace in the world if we all prayed more and became more like children of God.
Do you think John Madden could survive two minutes in this place?
Or any self-esteemite, 'like ya know ah like that'?
I think Sam Kinison would spontaneously combust. If you have that much loud in you, you have to let it out somewhere.
LOL!
This is a very nice story; thanks for posting it. It also generates a very nice counterpoint to all the hoopla about the movie "Brokeback Mountain." With all the MSM enthusiasm for that... Hollywood thing... it's reassuring to know that holiness will fill a theater as well or better - and certainly with a more desirable crowd.
"When I left the monastery, I was thinking about what exactly had I lived through and it was realising that I had had the privilege of living with a community of people who live practically without any fears," he said."
They have no fears because they live in a cloister - not reality. IMO, these people serve only themselves and for many of them, it's a good place to hide. Not a bad thing if honestly chosen, but a bad one under the guise of calling and faith.
Sam Kinison is already dead (rest his soul)

You certainly live up to your name.
***An unlikely film has been filling cinemas in Germany in recent weeks: a three-hour documentary with hardly a single spoken word, set in a monastery.***
Sen. Biden makes this movie look like an action film! =P
Cool.
I can't wait to see this film, just to listen to all the crying babies, screen-talking, and cell-phones. [smirk]
If they are spending their time praying for the rest of us then their work is certainly needed.

No, and I don't think most of the members of the House and Senate couldn't, either! They live to bloviate!
Mass in Mime Time?
