Watching the DVD when tired is not to be recommended, it's er, a bit soporific - but in a good way :D.<br /><br />I'll have to hunt out that CD.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653640127655491512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099683968267086634.post-88689464192359961472009-11-03T17:20:08.724+00:002009-11-03T17:20:08.724+00:00Pleased you got there Annie.

Three years ago the Monastery had 9 priests, 7 brothers and 9 in the novitiate - I don't know current numbers.<br /><br />One dark evening, I shall sit down and watch "Into Great Silence" in its entirety. Meanwhile, I recommend Parkminster's own CD "In the Silence of the Word".<br /><br />I have great respect for the Carthusians.Gerontiusnoreply@blogger.com
