L'Abbaye Notre Dame de Fontgombault
Enjoy this video, it is French. The images are are quite beautiful, especially the procession of the 70/80 of monks and individual Masses in the early morning. See their webpage.

Thank you Fr. Ray.,
I played it through twice in order to overcome the buffering the first time.
I also enjoyed the film "Into Great Silence" which I saw about three months ago. I feel that I am, or want to be, there with them, singing the Divine Office, which I have always loved.
Thank you again.

Loved the hunchback of Notre Dame start.
I too am afflicted by buffering - whatever that is. I spent a blissful week at Fontgombault after I was received into the Church. Truly the house of God and the gate of heaven.
i like the site you recommend..i'm trying to get the blues video onto my blog..
Thank you, Father. The week I spent at Fontgombault continues to sustain and inspire me, 12 years later. Serving one of those Low Masses in that holy place was a privilege I will recall on my deathbed as one of the profoundest of my life.
Sancte Benedicte, ora pro nobis.
Benedicite!

Father, since the lovetobecatholic.com site changed to better servers,and thus different I.P., i see the embedding codes are different, or need to be re posted for thier videos.
