1. The Lord passed by. Then a great wind

2. tore the mountains apart and shattered

3. the rocks before the Lord, but He was

4. not in the wind. After that there was

5. an earthquake, but the Lord was not

6. in the earthquake. After that came a fire

7. but the Lord was not in the fire.

8. After the fire came a gentle whisper.

9. 1 Kings 19, 11-13

10. Anyone who does not give up

11. all he has

12. cannot be my disciple.

13. What do you ask for?

14. Grace.

15. Rise!

16. Out of love I ask

17. to be admitted in probation

18. to monastic life as the most humble servant of all.

19. If you, venerable Father,

20. and the community deem it correct.

21. Dear Etienne and Benjamin,

22. I ask now both of you:

23. Are you ready to adopt our monastic way of life,

24. as the way through which God will lead your souls

25. to the inner holiness,

26. where He will reveal his existence to you

27. and let you commune with Him?

28. In as much as the goodness of God is bestowed upon me

29. I hope to serve in this way.

30. Putting my trust solely in the love of God

31. and in the prayers of my brothers,

32. I hope to fulfill these expectations.

33. In as much as the goodness of God is bestowed upon me.

34. You must know, dear brothers, that before you take the eternal vow,

35. you still have the freedom to leave.

36. On the other hand, we too reserve

37. the freedom and the right to refuse you,

38. in the case that we do not consider you fit for our way of life.

39. Do you agree?

40. Yes, Reverend Father.

41. Step nearer, now, for the embrace of peace.

42. In the name of God, of our Order,

43. in my own name and in the names of all the brothers of this community,

44. I welcome you into the community of the Order.

45. Dom Marie-Pierre...

46. from now on you shall

47. live in the cell and follow the additional rules of our Order.

48. You are at God's disposal alone,

49. in solitude and stillness

50. in an everlasting prayer

51. and a joyful penitence.

52. I leave you to the master of novices

53. who shall visit you at the appropriate time

54. and watch over your training.

55. O Lord, you have seduced me,

56. and I was seduced.

57. O Lord, you have seduced me,

58. and I was seduced.

59. Anyone who does not give up

60. all he has

61. cannot be my disciple.

62. He is the boss.

63. Behold the silence: Allow the Lord

64. to speak one Word in us... that HE is.

65. Treatise of St. Basil on the Holy Spirit

66. In the simplicity of God

67. exists the unity of a divine community through its godly nature.

68. The Holy Spirit is one,

69. and we speak of him as unique,

70. since through the one Son he is joined to the Father.

71. He completes the all-praised and blessed Trinity.

72. This is sufficient evidence of his intimacy with the Father

73. and one Son.

74. He is not ranked with the plurality of creation

75. but is described in the singular.

76. He is not one of many

77. but one only:

78. just as there is one Father

79. and one Son,

80. there is one Holy Spirit.

81. Reason demands that the singular is separated from the plural.

82. Therefore he does not share created nature.

83. He proceeds from the mouth of the Father.

84. Of course, the "mouth" of the Father is not a physical member,

85. nor is the Spirit a dissipated exhalation,

86. but "mouth" is used to the extent that it is appropriate to God,

87. and the Spirit is the essence of life

88. and divine sanctification.

89. Their intimacy is made clear,

90. while the ineffability

91. of God's existence

92. is safeguarded.

93. Praise the Lord!

94. Consider the analogy of the sunbeam:

95. Whoever feels its kindly light rejoices as if the sun existed for him alone,

96. yet it illuminates land and sea

97. and is master of the atmosphere.

98. In the same way, the Spirit is given to each one

99. who receives him

100. as if he were the possession of that person alone.

101. What do you have

102. that you did not receive?

103. And if you did receive it,

104. why do you boast as though you did not?

105. Lord, we receive this food through your grace,

106. through Jesus Christ our Lord.

107. Statutes of the Carthusian Order

108. Chapter 22: "Our Life in Common".

109. We take dinner together in the refectory

110. on Sundays and solemnities,

111. on which days

112. we meet together more frequently,

113. so that we may taste something

114. of the joy of family life.

115. The refectory, which we enter

116. after the Office in the chapel,

117. recalls the Last Supper, a meal which Christ blessed.

118. A period of conversation is accorded to the fathers

119. after the Chapter of the Nones.

120. At recreation, let us remember St. Paul's exhortation:

121. rejoice, be of one mind,

122. be at peace,

123. so that the God of peace and love may remain with us.

124. As St. Bruno says,

125. when wearied by our quite austere rule and application to spiritual things,

126. our rather delicate natures

127. can often be refreshed and renewed

128. by the charms and beauties of woods and countryside.

129. The fathers have a walk every week,

130. with the exception of the Holy Week.

131. Should it be necessary to go through a town or a village,

132. they will be content simply to pass through,

133. preserving due decorum,

134. nor may they ever enter the houses of seculars.

135. On the walks, we are not to eat or drink anything

136. except plain water, found by the wayside.

137. What you've read today is usually not read.

138. Yes? What does that mean?

139. The entire paragraph in parentheses? - Yes, exactly.

140. No, no one ever reads it.

141. Many translations treat it as an addition.

142. In Sélignac,

143. they have not been washing their hands before the refectory for 20 years now.

144. Do you think we should stop washing our hands? - No,

145. but it wouldn't be a big deal to get rid of something useless.

146. Our entire life, the whole liturgy, and everything ceremonial are symbols.

147. If you abolish the symbols, then you tear down the walls of your own house.

148. In the Monastery in Pavia,

149. instead of one wash-basin they have six.

150. There you can wash your hands properly.

151. Yes, they're also Trappists!

152. When we abolish the signs, we lose our orientation. Instead,

153. we should search for their meaning.

154. But one should unfold the core of the symbols.

155. The signs are not to be questioned, we are.

156. I'm not against hand washing,

157. I just forget to dirty my hands first.

158. The error is not to be found in hand- washing, the error is in our mind.

159. What time do you leave tomorrow?

160. Exactly at noon.

161. Where are you flying? - Seoul.

162. I will put a new spirit in you.

163. I will remove from you

164. your heart of stone

165. and give you a heart of flesh.

166. Anyone who does not give up

167. all he has

168. cannot be my disciple.

169. Behold, I have become human.

170. If you should not want to join me

171. in becoming God,

172. you would do me wrong.

173. O Lord, you have seduced me,

174. and I was seduced.

175. Anyone who does not give up

176. all he has

177. cannot be my disciple.

178. O Lord, you have seduced me,

179. and I was seduced.

180. You shall seek me,

181. and you shall find me.

182. Because you seek me

183. with all your heart,

184. I will let myself be found.

185. O Lord, you have seduced me,

186. and I was seduced.

187. No. Why be afraid of death?

188. It is the fate of all humans.

189. The closer one brings oneself to God,

190. the happier one is.

191. It is the end of our lives.

192. The closer one brings oneself to God, the happier one is.

193. The faster one hurries to meet him.

194. One should have no fear of death. On the contrary!

195. For us, it is a great joy to find a Father once again.

196. The past, the present, these are human.

197. In God there is no past. Solely the present prevails.

198. And when God sees us,

199. He always sees our entire life.

200. And because... He is an infinitely good being...

201. He eternally seeks our well-being.

202. Therefore, there is no cause for worry

203. in any of the things which happen to us.

204. I often thank God

205. that he let me be blinded.

206. I am sure that he let this happen for the good of my soul.

207. It is a pity that the world has lost all sense of God.

208. It is a pity...

209. They have no reason to live anymore.

210. When you abolish the thought of God,

211. why should you go on living on this earth?

212. One must always part from the principle

213. that God is infinitely good,

214. and that all of his actions are in our best interest.

215. Because of this a Christian should always be happy, never unhappy.

216. Because everything that happens is God's will,

217. and it only happens for the well-being of our soul.

218. Well, this is the most important.

219. God is infinitely good, almighty,

220. and he helps us.

221. This is all one must do, and then one is happy.

222. I am the ONE who is.

223. The Lord passed by. Then a great wind

224. tore the mountains apart and shattered

225. the rocks before the Lord, but He was no

226. in the wind. After that there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not

227. in the earthquake. After that came a fire

228. but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire came a gentle whisper.

229. 1 Kings 19, 11-13

230. The Monastery of the Grande Chartreuse

231. is considered to be one of the most ascetic monasteries in the world.

232. In 1984, I asked them for permission to film on location.

233. It was said that it was too early. Maybe in 10, 13 years.

234. 16 years later I received a call from the Chartreuse.

235. They were now ready.
