I met some Norbertine canons this week—they really are wonderful priests and quite hilarious people—and also some of their boys from the affiliated prep school. The boys were absolutely excited to show us this video and to point out their teachers and priests, but we all could not help but notice that if one had not known that it was a vocations video, one might very easily think that it is either an ad for a vineyard dedicated to home-grown organic wine, or something. (The boys, at the wine-making scene: ’They don’t really do that. They planted olive trees, but I think no one watered ‘em, so they died.”)
I love that, that it’s so very slightly bumbling.
