Ave Maria!

Christmas treat for the eyes and ears. Here is a rendition of Christe, Redemptor Omnium (Christ, Redeemer of All) a Christmas Vespers hymn. It is beautifully sung by the Monks of Benedictine Abbey of Calcat with the Boy’s Choir of L’Alumnat and set to classic paintings of Nativity scenes. Merry Christmas, Enjoy!

Ave Maria!

The live broadcast of the Mass went well for the Solemnity of St. Joseph. We had about 115 viewers who viewed the Missa Cantata on AirMaria and at least two other sites who embedded the viewer, Rorate Caeli and Pro Multis Media. Thank you both for this. We had some audio problems and some glitches with the switching between the two cameras, but we are learning. The Chapel was quite full and the choir was simply heavenly as was the liturgy. All in all we have much to be thankful for. Glory be to God!

Ave Maria!
In his homily, Cardinal Burke focused on the need for beauty and splendor in the sacred liturgy, echoing what His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI wrote in the letter accompanying his Moto Proprio “Summorum Pontificum:” “It is not appropriate to speak of these two versions of the Roman Missal as if they were ‘two Rites’.  Rather, it is a matter of a twofold use of one and the same rite.” And “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.  It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place…”

In March of 2011, our friars and sisters celebrated a Pontifical High Mass with Cardinal Raymond Burke in Rome at the Church of St. Nicolas (imprisoned).  Here’s a “short-short” of one of the sister’s hymns sung after Holy Communion, with Sr. Maria Cecilia Manelli as conductor of the choir.
