Monks of Solesmes Abbey
The leading masters of Gregorian chant, the monks of Solesmes, simplify and clarify the world of chant. The combination of a clearly understood text with the fluidly sung examples convinces the listener that Gregorian chant is open to everyone for enjoyment and prayer. A valuable resource for educators, students and anyone who loves Chant. Chants include Psalms, Proper and Ordinary of the Mass, the Divine Office, and more – 19 chants.Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Fr. Z's prescription for what ails us
From Fr. Z's blog:
I urge all priests and bishops who read this blog with any slight quaver of resonance or benevolence, to consider this with care:
If you sense that something quite serious and important is going on right now, for the love of God rethink your approach to how you foster Holy Church’s proper public worship.
Do all in your power and through your influence to foster a worship of God which conforms not to worldly goals – as praiseworthy as they may be in a world still dominated by its dire prince – but rather to the real point of religion: an encounter with mystery.
Our worship must become more and more focused on the one who is Other. Seek what is truly above in your rites and raise people to encounter mystery.
You will be challenged and reviled, blocked and attacked as you do. You will be worn down and afraid under the weight of resistance.
But I think that to save the world we must save the liturgy.
