Fr. John Paul Le, OSB, discusses the essence of a monastery and the life of monks.

“Hilltop Hangouts” takes place in a monastery – so we are welcoming Fr. John Paul Le, OSB, back on the podcast to explain what exactly a monastery is! Along with our hosts, Fr. John Paul explores how a monk is called to be “single-hearted” in his search for God, how a structured life actually frees up your soul, and what it means to be in community with the brotherhood of monks. - - - Mount Angel Abbey is a place to seek things above, where people have communion with God and with each other.
