Into Great Silence Gregorian Chant

[HellsFireChick]

I do not support organized religions, or their ideals of worship.

But even I can find peace, and relaxation in such chants.

[dfeeel2]

damn, if only god was real..

[michaelcychan]

@dfeeel2 He is.

[horsechick861]

@dfeeel2  How are you so sure he is not?

[Juiceman5860]

The chants are just so soothing and beautiful....

[LarryStang]

The dedication to silence and deep interiorized prayer is astounding. In India the yogis retreat to caves in the Himalya's but for the monk his cave is his cell.

[IcedEarth426]

This is very soothing~

Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.

@tommerrigan1956 beautiful prayer thank-you!

[JesusKingofPoland]

Praise be to God, who calls holy men to praise Him. We will be doing this forever in heaven :)

English Translation:

Come, O Lord, and show us Thy face, Thou that sittest upon the Cherubim: and we shall be saved. -- (Ps. 79. 2). Give ear, O Thou that rulest Israel: Thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. V.: Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Come, O Lord, and show us Thy face, Thou that sittest upon the Cherubim: and we shall be saved.

[geordielad101]

Lyrics in Latin:

Veni, et ostende nobis faciem tuam, Domine, qui sedes super Cherubim: et salvi erimus. -- Qui regis Israel, intende: qui deducis, velut ovem, Ioseph. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Veni, et ostende nobis faciem tuam, Domine, qui sedes super Cherubim: et salvi erimus.

I never understand what the lyrics are in these chants but I guess ya don't have to to appreciate it. Gorgeous music perfect chant. Thanks for posting this

[rfpnc]

That's because they are in Latin. You can find English translations out on the web.

We watched this movie in my Anthropology class and it just blew me away. There is just something so deep and meaningful to the way these monks live their lives, even though it is so simple. It's truly amazing to see this considering how fast paced the rest of the world is.

[cdphatty]

The carthusians are keeping this world together.

[GenesisforJESUS]

I love God.

[AureusVenerabilis]

Long live Benedict XVI!

Long live the Reverend Father Dom Marcellin!

QUESTION:

Once there was a beautiful video from INTO GREAT SILENCE with an old blind monk and his speech, but now I can't find it (I hope it wasn't deleted). Can you give me a link?

Thanks :-)

[basilorat]

@AureusVenerabilis I'm looking for that clip too! Need to forward it to my non Catholic fiancee...!

[samanthahorton1]

I've mistakenly clicked the Thumbs Down' - please forgive me, davidpetercantus. Your prayer is beautiful.

[davidpetercantus]

No forgiveness necessary, thank you for your honesty. May God Bless You!

[davidpetercantus]

May God bless the Carthusian Order for their cloistered service of silence and prayerful work in His name.

May God bless us all and forgive us for the manifest sins we have arrogantly and selfishly committed.

Pax Christi †

[AureusVenerabilis]

We should thank to God for this order. Many orders have been reformated or somehow changed, but the Carthusian Order stll remains the same since 1084...

God bless you.

[sifergroup]

@AureusVenerabilis Not true. They use the new rite of Mass.

[AureusVenerabilis]

I absolutely agree with you, brother David :-) May God blesses us all during our journey through the earthly life...
