The Abbey of Gethsemane
Thomas Merton's hermitage
Daffodils....what a welcome sight!
Above is Thomas Merton's hermitage.
This is the place to go to really listen for the voice of God. It is peaceful. It is quiet. The monks are gracious. It is truly a place of retreat.

Beautiful photos!
Oh my goodness! I just made a reference to Gethsemane.
Thanks for posting on my blog. I still have to respond to that last meme!
What a beautiful place! I hope I can visit it in person sometime.
Thanks for letting us post anonymously. There is another blog where the author is just hateful and does not allow anonymous posting because she is afraid of the truth. Some of us have to post anonymously for very good reasons. God bless you.
Good photos. Very quiet and peaceful...I love the little waterfall.
Those photos are wonderful! My mother went there years ago and just loved it. I'd love to go someday.
In response to anon(above me), some of us bloggers have to disallow anonymous comments because of hateful/vile comments almost always from anonymous posters. I was very liberal with my blog in the beginning. We have no way of blocking mean comments but since it is my blog, I choose to not publish comments that are mean and accusitory and without merit.(Sorry, Rosemary, I didn't mean to hijack this cool photo entry, that comment just needed and explanation to see why bloggers have to set up the way that works best.) God bless.
Don't want to get into this but I disagree with A Thorn in the Pew's rationalizing blocking anonymous comments. It is really like the left wingers picking and choosing what they want to believe and what they want to discard. Anyway, I applaud this blog for being open minded and honest and allowing those of us who really have to post anonymously to do so. You are genuine.
Awesome images, Rosemary. Thanks SO much for sharing them. I love to see more and more of your country, a country I shall probably only ever see in photographs!
Lovely pictures!
Yes. Very nice photos but the small building is not Father Louis's hermitage. You can find photos of Fr. Louis's hermitage online or in a wonderful book written by John Howard Griffn called, "The Hermitage Journals". Pax.

here is a picture of the hermitage, but these are great pictures from a great place anyway.
