PatrickHOST
Before beginning the homily, I'd just like to share that we had the joy yesterday of accepting a new postulant, John from Mobile in South Alabama.
PatrickHOST
He entered, we officially accepted him yesterday after Vespers.
PatrickHOST
So please pray for him as he begins his stage of this initial stage of formation with our friars.
PatrickHOST
What must I do to inherit eternal life? What do I have to do to get to heaven? And this is a very important question put to the Lord by the scholar of the law and the gospel.
Tom ShrewsburyHOST
Her mother would often tell of Helena waking up in the early hours of the morning when she was just six years of age and when she was told to go back to sleep would tell her mother that her guardian angel must have awakened her to pray.
Tom ShrewsburyHOST
A year later, at the age of just seven, Helena was in church for Vespers when something very strange seemed to happen.
Tom ShrewsburyHOST
She couldn't explain it, but while she was praying, she had a very clear feeling that God was speaking to her, directly to her, giving her a very personal invitation to live a more perfect life.
Tom ShrewsburyHOST
The feeling of that invitation and moment would forever be etched in her memory.
Tom CurranHOST
But they every Sunday night had adoration.
Tom CurranHOST
And then they did Vespers and Compline and an hour of quiet, which was really quite beautiful.
Tom CurranHOST
And so it was open.
Tom CurranHOST
And so we would routinely go.
Tom CurranHOST
We loved going.
Tom CurranHOST
It was very inspiring to see young men and faculty praying in adoration before the Lord and singing the, you know, Lods and Vespers.
Tom CurranHOST
So very, very powerful.
Tom CurranHOST
It was a very powerful experience.

Francis BethelGUEST
But my first visit there, I was really s- struck by the silence, not just with the peace and the calm.
Francis BethelGUEST
We got there right in time for Vespers, and just, I don't know, there was kind of a presence that you felt as the monks came in with just this one bell ringing.
Francis BethelGUEST
And so, so I describe that, and so I say this book is about entering into that silence.
Francis BethelGUEST
So that's where the title comes from in a way, kind of build...
Stephen DaltonHOST
Sleep was divided, interrupted, resumed, and then interrupted again by Lauds, Prime, Terce, and so on.
Stephen DaltonHOST
An endless chain of prayers and bells until you eventually found yourself back at Vespers, wondering when the last time was that you actually slept through the night.
Stephen DaltonHOST
And yet, monks were oddly fond of their routines.
Stephen DaltonHOST
There are letters from the period in which monks describe their sleep as well-ordered, which is the sort of thing only monks and German train conductors say about rest.
Jacob KremerHOST
And, and you don't have to be religious.
Jacob KremerHOST
Like, truly you do not have to be religious to enjoy Vespers.
Jacob KremerHOST
It-
Julius SarkozyHOST
Yeah
Julius SarkozyHOST
... you know, magical to take out of it.
Jacob KremerHOST
It's so powerful.
Jacob KremerHOST
The, uh, the community that gets created at Vespers time-
Julius SarkozyHOST
Mm

Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
Today, however, from the first chord, I had felt a change for the worse, a sinister change.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
During Vespers, it had been chiefly the chancel organ which supported the beautiful choir.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
But now and again, quite wantonly as it seemed, from the west gallery where the great organ stands, a heavy hand had struck across the church at the serene peace of those clear voices.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
It was something more than harsh and dissonant, and it betrayed no lack of skill.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
I had read of such things happening, too, but not in works on architecture.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
Then I remembered that St. Barnabe was not much more than a hundred years old, and smiled at the incongruous association of medieval superstitions with that cheerful little piece of eighteenth-century rococo.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
But now Vespers were over, and there should have followed a few quiet chords fit to accompany meditation, while we waited for the sermon.
Peter YearsleyNARRATOR
Instead of that, the discord at the lower end of the church broke out with the departure of the clergy, as if now nothing could control it.
