And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness did not comprehend it.//et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non conprehenderunt.../erat lux vera quae inluminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum/...That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world./ Gregorian Chant http://www.solesmes.com/GB/gregorien/hist.php?js=1 -- more Catholic music videos here at http://beam.to/GloriaVideos - and my BLOG http://vocation-station.blogspot.com - Gregorian Chant is a musical repertory made up of chants used in the liturgical services of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, the liturgical tradition which the Church has given us is a vocal, monophonic music composed in Latin using sacred texts from the Ancient and New Testaments. This is why Gregorian Chant has often been called a "sung Bible". Linked intimately to the liturgy in this way, the goal of the Gregorian melodies is to favor spiritual growth, reveal the gifts of God and the full coherence of the Christian message.
What we call Gregorian chant today first appears distinctly in the Roman repertory of the fifth and sixth centuries. Its implimentation and perhaps some of its composition was in the hands of a group of ministers in a service specially dedicated to the Roman basilicas, the schola cantorum. Gregorian chant also appears to have been an aural music, that is, transmitted by ear and committed to memory - like all other music of the world at the time. http://www.lovetobecatholic.com

"By their hidden life the Dominican Nuns proclaim prophetically that in Christ alone is true happiness to be found, here by grace and afterwords in glory." --Constitutions of the Nuns of the Order of Preachers From all eternity, God calls some women to be consecrated entirely to Him. The religious vocation is a reflection of the vocation of Mary, to whom God sent the Angel Gabriel seeking her consent to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word. A contemplative nun is called to live in very great intimacy with Jesus. She is called to be a spouse and mother: a spouse of Christ and mother of souls through her life of prayer and sacrifice. - Video portion from secular news report,2006 The Dominican Contemplative Sisters of the Monastery of the Heart of Jesus, located in Lockport, Louisiana, belong to a world-wide religious order which was founded by Saint Dominic Guzman in 1206.
The cloistered Sisters live a penitential life of prayer, study, community and work. They are consecrated to God by public vows through the profession of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience. They have retained the full Habit, monastic customs and regular observances of the Nuns of the Order of Preachers. Daily Mass and Eucharistic Adoration Divine Office - Chanted Daily Rosary.They accept and follow all the teachings and directives of the Church.
The Lockport Dominicans as they are commonly known, are in the process of re-founding their community. In late 2004 using the internet, the Nuns began to interest young women in their way of life. As of January 2006, about 100 young women have been in contact with the nuns, and many have visited or will visit. Over twelve have applied to enter the monastery in the past few months. The Sisters hope to construct a new monastery soon. They hope it will be more conducive to prayer and quiet, as their current building was a former convent for active sisters. http://vocation-station.blogspot.com

http://www.pluscardenabbey.org/becoming-a-monk.asp One of Northern Scotland's most unusual attractions and one which is unique in Britain, is Pluscarden Benedictine Abbey, near Elgin. It is the only medieval monastery in Britain still inhabited by monks and being used for its original purpose. Pluscarden Abbey as we know it today owes its foundation to King Alexander II of Scotland in the year 1230. At the same time grants were made to two other sister houses, The community that served these churches was one of French Valliscaulians, a little-known order that shared some of the strictness of the Carthusian discipline with the spirit of fellowship that existed among the Cistercians, and only at these three places was this order represented in Scotland or England. - Committed to no external duties, the monks of Pluscarden conceive their primary service to lie in prayer, regular observance, the common life. Pluscarden has chosen to keep Latin in the Mass and the divine office, except for readings. The whole office, the opus Dei as drawn by St. Benedict, has moreover been retained and apart from Vigils, is sung, with the community Mass as the liturgical point of focus; as well as grace in the refectory together with such devotions as are prompted by the season. When not at work in the grounds, or at the crafts which are carriedon in workshops and studios, the monks are employed either in the domestic jobs which inevitably take up the day in a monastery which does not engage paid labour or in the lectio (meditative reading and study) to which St. Benedict gives much prominence in his Rule. Thus the monks do their own laundry, mending, cooking, painting, repairing and maintenance generally. http://vocation-station.blogspot.com
