This is the new face of Gong Ji-young revealed in \"Gong Ji-young's Monastery Journey 2.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author visited eleven monasteries and cathedrals over the past two years. \u003cbr\u003eWe will visit the Benedictine Waegwan Abbey in Korea, the St. Paul's Abbey in Newton, USA, which traces the footsteps of Captain Leonard LaRue, who became a Mariner, the Benedictine Abbey of St. Ottilien in Germany, which has a deep connection with Korea, and the Münsterschwarzach Abbey, famous for being the home of Father Anselm Grün.\u003cbr\u003e It also includes an interview with Father Anselm Grün, whom the author particularly admired.\u003cbr\u003e At the Cardinal Schultehaus in Cologne, she tells of her religious experiences that brought her both pain and joy.\u003cbr\u003e In Paris, I met my daughter who was on a long trip and had a wonderful time at the Church of the Miraculous Medal.\u003cbr\u003e We follow in the footsteps of Saint Benedict by visiting Subiaco, Italy, where he lived as a hermit, and the Abbey of Montecassino, the first monastery of the Benedictine Order. \u003cbr\u003eThe story of Sister Nazarena, who lived a sealed life for 44 years, told at the Camaldolese Convent of San Antonio in Rome, is particularly surprising and moving.\u003cbr\u003e It also conveys the image of a monk from the Camaldoli monastery who lives a life of solitude and silence in a cell rather than a single room.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, the various emotions felt during the lively festival in Avila, which we visited on the feast day of Teresa of Avila, made us reflect on our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wherever you stay, chance encounters, memories that suddenly surface, and mind-boggling personal confessions all come together in the special space of the monastery, creating a strange resonance in each reader's heart. \u003cbr\u003eIf you're looking for objective information and figures about each monastery, it's probably faster to search the Internet. However, if you're more interested in the meaning of the monastery's prayers and labor, the intertwined stories, and the special relationships that changed the author, \"Gong Ji-young's Monastery Journey 2\" is the right choice.\u003cbr\u003e Just as the author's heart was, how about readers using this book as a navigational aid to embark on their own spiritual journey? The author's \"monastery\" ultimately resided within her heart, and each of us, too, embraces a \"monastery\" within our own hearts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312 pages | 543g | 153*224*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788941914204\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8941914205 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893738143786,"sku":"135909","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/c0d371d299d1713aa1ab34f41dcbc1b7.jpg?v=1765413623","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/135909","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
