This weekend marks the feast day of Benedict- a 6th century monk who had his own rule, which has survived down the centuries. That rule emphasises moderation, work and prayer.Our journey this morning will begin in the Great Italian Monastery of Monte Cassino as we learn about the man himself and how he shaped monasticism in Western Europe. The Benedictine Order still exists across Europe- and we will hear three tales-first from Father Pere Basile, a monk who glorifies God through making wine at the Papal Vineyard of Pope Clement V in Provence in France.Then to Karol O'Connell, the Mother Superior at Kylemore Abbey in the West of Ireland leading an order of Benedictine Nuns who fled to Ireland after their monastery in Belgium was destroyed in the First World War. We finish our journey with Abbot Mark Ephrem of Holy Cross Monastery in Rostrevor in County Down - the first new Monastery built here for 800 years.

7-11-25: OLG Monastery – Sr. Linda, OSB by

The year Maria Morera Johnson turned 49 almost did her in. Maria faced intense stress in every aspect of her life. The lowest point was when she had a stroke.  “I was an absolute physical, emotional, and spiritual mess.” Maria survived and went home carrying a lot in her heart to reflect on. She decided to attend a spiritual retreat at The Monastery of the Holy Spirit. It was there that the Lord calmed her spirit.  While Maria walked around the abbey grounds, she prayed the Rosary and sensed Our Blessed Mother holding her hand. Maria also experienced the Lord's presence as she sat in the chapel.  Maria's time at the abbey transformed her spiritual life and affected her in every way. She started journaling her conversations with Jesus and continued for many years. It felt like her salvation.  Be encouraged to deepen your spiritual life as you listen to this mini-retreat in a podcast from the “Women of Wisdom" series!   Learn more about Maria and her work at mariamjohnson.com.

He is honored as the founder of Orthodox monastic life in Russia. He was born in Chernigov province and tonsured at the Monastery of Esphigmenou on the Holy Mountain. His abbot sent him from Mt Athos to Kiev to establish the monastic life there in 1013, during the last years of Prince Vladimir's holy reign. He lived there as a hermit, slowly drawing to himself others who wished to share the ascetical life. In time, the brotherhood grew into the Kiev Caves Lavra. St Anthony refused to serve as abbot of the monastery; this task was taken up by St Theodosius (commemorated May 3). St Anthony continued to live as a cave-dwelling hermit and reposed in peace at the age of ninety.

"Born in Asia and educated in Constantinople, he went into the army after completing his studies and became an officer. Reading the Holy Scriptures, he came upon the Saviour's words: 'If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell all thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow Me' (Matt. 19:21). These words made such an impression on him that he sold and gave away all that he had, and went off to the desert. After long asceticism and striving for purification, he founded the community of the 'Wakeful Ones' (Acoemetae) with a special rule. According to this rule, the services in the church continued day and night in unbroken sequence. The brethren were divided into six groups, each having its appointed hours of day or night to go to church and take over the reading and singing from the previous group. He travelled a great deal over the East, bringing people to faith in Christ, disputing with heretics, working miracles by God's grace and growing old in the service of the Lord Jesus. He finished his earthly course in Constantinople in the year 430, where his relics revealed the miraculous power and glory with which God had glorified His holy servant." (Prologue)

The Sixena murals are late 12th to early 13th-century Romanesque wall paintings from the Monastery of Santa María de Sixena in Aragon. They were moved to Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War for preservation and are currently on display at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona. On this week's podcast, we explore the ongoing debate over their place of exhibition, which highlights deeper regional and cultural tensions in Spain.  Reporter Cillian Shields visits the MNAC to learn more about the history, restoration and conservation of the frescoes. Art historian Albert Velasco explains the controversy over their location, in which Aragon claims rightful ownership and demands their immediate return to the Sixena monastery, whilst experts highlight the importance of a controlled environment for conservation and warn that moving them may cause irreparable damage due to their fragility.  Host Beth Cohen draws parallels with other relocated artworks and raises questions about the responsibility to protect cultural heritage regardless of political disputes. This week, our Catalan phrase is “Compartir és viure” - “To share is to live”. A modern and commonly used phrase in Catalonia, it expresses the idea that sharing is an essential part of a meaningful life, fostering a sense of community and human connection.

Lluís said, trying to spark his sister's curiosity.Ca: Però Marta només assentia amb un somriure forçat, pensant en els concerts i les fogueres que l'esperaven més tard.En: But Marta only nodded with a forced smile, thinking about the concerts and bonfires that awaited her later.Ca: En un moment de desesperació creativa, Lluís va decidir explicar-li una antiga llegenda.En: In a moment of creative desperation, Lluís decided to tell her an ancient legend.Ca: "Diuen que en algun lloc aquí amagat, hi ha un tresor deixat per cavallers fa molt temps.En: "They say that somewhere hidden here, there's a treasure left by knights long ago.Ca: Però només es revela a aquells que tenen llaços forts i sincers." Va fer una pausa, mirant de reüll a Marta, esperant una reacció.En: But it's only revealed to those with strong and sincere bonds." He paused, glancing sideways at Marta, hoping for a reaction.Ca: Marta va aturar-se, una mica escèptica, però les seves paraules la van intrigar.En: Marta stopped, a bit skeptical, but his words intrigued her.Ca: “D'acord, Lluís.En: "Okay, Lluís.Ca: Anem a buscar-lo, però si no trobem res...” va començar a replicar, però ell ja somreia, content pel canvi d'actitud.En: Let's go look for it, but if we don't find anything..." she began to reply, but he was already smiling, pleased by the change in attitude.Ca: Van arribar a una sendera poc coneguda, lluny dels grups de turistes.En: They arrived at a little-known path, far from the tourist groups.Ca: Les pedres del camí estaven cobertes de molsa i el silenci només era trencat pel cant dels ocells.En: The stones of the path were covered in moss, and the silence was only broken by the birds' song.Ca: De sobte, Marta va notar una petita esquerda a la paret rocosa.En: Suddenly, Marta noticed a small crack in the rocky wall.Ca: Curiosa, es va apropar i va descobrir una petita entrada.En: Curious, she approached and discovered a small entrance.Ca: Els dos germans van entrar amb precaució i van trobar una sala amagada.En: The two siblings entered cautiously and found a hidden room.Ca: Al final, un gran espill reflectia les seves imatges.En: At the end, a large mirror reflected their images.Ca: Marta el va mirar i, somrient, va entendre què volia dir aquell retrobament inesperat.En: Marta looked at it and, smiling, understood what that unexpected meeting meant.Ca: "Potser aquest és el nostre tresor," va dir Marta suaument, sentint una nova connexió amb Lluís.En: "Maybe this is our treasure," Marta said softly, feeling a new connection with Lluís.Ca: Ell, encantat, va abraçar-la, satisfet d'haver compartit aquest moment especial.En: He, delighted, embraced her, satisfied to have shared this special moment.Ca: Quan van sortir de l'habitació secreta, la llum del sol era més brillant i el món semblava tenir uns colors més vius.En: When they exited the secret room, the sunlight was brighter and the world seemed to have more vivid colors.Ca: Marta, reconfortada, va començar a preguntar més sobre les històries que tant fascinaven el seu germà.En: Reassured, Marta began to ask more about the stories that so fascinated her brother.Ca: Lluís, amb paciència renovada, es va comprometre a presentar-li la història d'una forma més viva i imaginativa.En: Lluís, with renewed patience, promised to introduce her to history in a more lively and imaginative way.Ca: Junts, van tornar al cor del monestir, transformats per una experiència única, amb lligams reforçats, preparats per gaudir del Sant Joan amb noves perspectives i un afecte redescobert.En: Together, they returned to the heart of the monastery, transformed by a unique experience, with strengthened bonds, ready to enjoy Sant Joan with new perspectives and a rediscovered affection.

An Egyptian court has recently issued a controversial ruling regarding the famous St. Catherine Monastery in the Sinai, the oldest Christian monastery in continuous use since the 4th century. The ruling declared the entire area Egyptian public property and implied that it could evict the monks and turn it into a museum. Archaeologist Avner Goren who was the chief archaeologist for Israel in the Sinai for 15 years and very familiar with St. Catherine, said the situation was unprecedented in its long, long history. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the situation was still under negotiation and time will tell if it will change.

Patrick opens the hour by responding to a listener’s struggle with isolation while growing closer to Jesus, drawing parallels to St. Paul’s hardships and the promise of deeper spiritual bonds. He fields questions about Christian relics, considers the spiritual growth possible in suffering through flawed government, addresses the frustrations of Social Security, and gently advises callers on topics like wearing the rosary while on duty as a police officer or breaking the habit of speaking harshly to a parent. Lauren (email) – Do people choose not to follow Jesus because it can lead to a life of isolation?(00:39) Sean - Remind Patrick that Codex Sinaiticus was found at the St. Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai (06:05) Alex - In response to affordable housing, isn’t it sometimes good to undergo suffering? (11:54) Jean – What about someone who pays into Social Security but dies before they collect anything (22:06) Patty – I’m a patrol sergeant and I wear the rosary around the neck. Is that disrespectful? (25:33) Bill - How do we discern between real videos of the pope and something that might be AI? (28:43) Beth - Response to an earlier email from Lauren about faith and isolation: the more we get involved in our parish, the more we feel connected. (35:20) Elena - Are there sins that God won’t forgive? (38:00) Jose - I live with my mom and help her. Is it right for me to leave? (44:58)

He was born in Constantinople around 758, of pious parents: his father had been exiled under Constantine Copronymus for his steadfast veneration of the holy icons. Nikephoros served in the imperial palace as a secretary, but later renounced worldly success to struggle in monastic life near Constantinople. He built and administered a monastery which soon became filled with monks; but he himself never took the monastic habit, feeling himself unworthy. Though a layman, he took part in the Seventh Ecumenical Council at the request of the Emperor and Patriarch because of his remarkable knowledge of Holy Scripture. Much against his will, he was made Patriarch of Constantinople at the death of Patriarch Tarasios. He was made a monk, then elevated through all the priestly orders in a few days, then enthroned at St Sophia in 806.   A few years later, the Emperor Leo the Armenian took the throne. Patriarch Nikephoros, as was customary, sent him a Confession of the Orthodox Faith to sign. Leo put off signing the document until his coronation, then revealed himself to be an Iconoclast heretic. The Patriarch tried quietly to bring him back to the Orthodox faith, but to no avail. When the Emperor, in his turn, tried to make the holy Nikephoros bow to iconoclasm, the Patriarch clearly and publicly upheld the veneration of the holy Icons. For this he was deposed and driven into exile at the Monastery of St Theodore, which he himself had founded. Here he reposed, having served for nine years as Patriarch, and thirteen years in exile and privation.

A recent court ruling in Egypt has sounded alarm bells in Athens and around the world as it seems to put the status of St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai, a UNESCO world heritage site, at risk. This has prompted reactions at the highest levels, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis speaking with his Egyptian counterpart and emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the monastery's status as a Greek Orthodox place of pilgrimage. Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou joins Thanos Davelis as we break down what's at stake for St. Catherine's monastery and why it matters as we look at the broader state of international religious freedom in the region.Dr. Prodromou is a former Vice Chair and Commissioner on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, visiting professor in the International Studies Program at Boston College, and was a member of the US Secretary of State's Religion & Foreign Policy Working Group.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Sisi reaffirms Egypt's commitment to status of Sinai monastery in call with MitsotakisHistoric Sinai settlement never signedA bolt out of the blue on Mt SinaiTurkish authorities order detention of dozens of opposition officials in widening crackdownTurkey arrests dozens including opposition party membersGas to flow from Greece to Slovakia, Ukraine

L'esforç dels monjos i la seva fe es percep en cada pedra", va dir Júlia, captivant els turistes amb la seva veu segura.En: "Look at the monastery! The monks' labor and their faith can be felt in every stone," said Júlia, captivating the tourists with her confident voice.Ca: Pere va afegir amb entusiasme: "I sabeu? Diuen les llegendes que aquestes muntanyes... són guardians dels nostres secrets!"En: Pere added enthusiastically, "And you know? The legends say that these mountains... are guardians of our secrets!"Ca: De sobte, un tro a la distància.En: Suddenly, thunder in the distance.Ca: Júlia va mirar Rosa, coneixent el significat d'aquell soroll.En: Júlia looked at Rosa, understanding the meaning of that sound.Ca: Rosa, prudent com sempre, va sugerir: "Potser hauríem de tornar... El camí pot esdevenir perillós."En: Rosa, cautious as always, suggested, "Perhaps we should go back... The path could become dangerous."Ca: Però Júlia no volia que la tempesta desviés els seus plans meravellosos.En: But Júlia didn't want the storm to derail her wonderful plans.Ca: Va mirar Pere, esperant suport.En: She looked at Pere, hoping for support.Ca: "No passarà res, companyes", va dir Pere amb confiança.En: "Nothing will happen, companions," said Pere with confidence.Ca: "Un canvi de plans pot fer la visita més divertida!"En: "A change of plans can make the visit more fun!"Ca: Rosa dubtava, però Júlia va saber que hi havia una manera de posar d'acord a tothom.En: Rosa hesitated, but Júlia knew there was a way to get everyone on the same page.Ca: Va proposar una nova ruta, buscant seguretat i sorpresa.En: She proposed a new route, seeking safety and surprise.Ca: "Hi ha una part del monestir, una ala menys coneguda... Un moment perfecte per explorar-la!"En: "There's a part of the monastery, a lesser-known wing... A perfect time to explore it!"Ca: Rosa, tot i que preocupada, va acconsentir després d'una pausa breu.En: Rosa, though concerned, agreed after a brief pause.Ca: Així, el grup es va moure per camins més protegits, sota la guia experta de Júlia.En: Thus, the group moved through more sheltered paths, under Júlia's expert guidance.Ca: El cel es va enfosquir però, paradoxalment, a l'interior del monestir, llums càlides jugaven amb les ombres de les antigues columnes.En: The sky darkened but, paradoxically, inside the monastery, warm lights played with the shadows of the ancient columns.Ca: Els turistes, per uns instants, oblidaren la pluja que picava les finestres.En: The tourists, for a few moments, forgot the rain tapping on the windows.Ca: Van descobrir frescos amagats i racons resistents al pas del temps.En: They discovered hidden frescoes and corners resilient to the passage of time.Ca: Les històries de Júlia van adquirir vida, i el compte de Pere sobre aquell lloc secret emocionava els ànims.En: Júlia's stories came to life, and Pere's account of that secret place stirred the spirits.Ca: Finalment, en un temps que semblava volar, la tempesta va amainar i els turistes eren extasiats.En: Finally, in a time that seemed to fly, the storm subsided and the tourists were ecstatic.Ca: El guia del grup els va agrair amb sinceritat.En: The group's guide thanked them sincerely.Ca: Una experiència única, havien dit.En: It was a unique experience, they had said.Ca: Júlia va veure el somriure d'aprovació d'un supervivent de la jornada: el seu cap, que l'havia observat discretament.En: Júlia saw the approving smile of a survivor of the day: her boss, who had observed her discreetly.Ca: Era el reconeixement que esperava, una promoció guanyada per l'enginy i el treball en equip.En: It was the recognition she had been waiting for, a promotion earned through ingenuity and teamwork.Ca: Un cop la tempesta va deixar pas a una tarda tranquil·la i clara, Júlia, Rosa i Pere van comprendre com cada un tenia un paper crucial en la jornada.En: Once the storm gave way to a calm and clear afternoon, Júlia, Rosa, and Pere understood how each had a crucial role in the day.Ca: Van decidir celebrar-ho al voltant d'una taula, compartint històries i riures, un record que guardaria per sempre a l'indret màgic de Montserrat.En: They decided to celebrate around a table, sharing stories and laughter, a memory they would cherish forever in the magical place of Montserrat.

In this episode Al Fadi and Dr Jay recap the first eleven claims; in conclusion : every reference to Mohammad in these claims place him in the wrong place and probably refer to other Muhammads = " the praised ones ". Then they discuss claim #12 The Ashtiname Letter, which was supposed to be written by Mohammad or Ali to the monks of St Catherine's Monastery, promising protection and other privileges. This turned out to be a fraud written by the monks of the monastery to protect themselves from the Marauding Muslims all around them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This lecture is entitled The One Thing Necessary: Monasticism and Philosophy. It was presented by Prior Peter Funk, OSB of the Monastery of the Holy Cross, Chicago on October 4, 2023, at the Ruth Lake Country Club.

The Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City was originally a working monastery and boarding school. Built in 1925, the property sits on 180 acres and was once home to more than 90 monks and 250 students. As the school closed, the monks looked to repurpose the gorgeous property. A trip to perform an exorcism at a winery in Palisade, Colorado opened their eyes to the potential of a winery at Holy Cross Abbey, and the rest is history. Now the winery offers tastings, local events and sells their wine at more than 200 locations along the Front Range.

He was a disciple of St Theodosius of the Kiev Caves (commemorated May 3), and became abbot of the Monastery of the Caves. After many years of faithful service he fell victim to the intrigues of a monk against him, lost his abbacy and was even driven from the monastery. In God's time the holy monk was vindicated and made Bishop of Vladimir. There he guided the Church for many years, reposing peacefully in old age in 1094.

In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In them prayer is offered up unto the Lord with hope in His aid, and the betrayal of Judas, the hatred of the Jews who sought the death of the Lord, and the sufferings of the Savior, both spiritual and bodily, are prophetically depicted; the darkness which covered the earth from the sixth until the ninth hour is depicted; then the gladness of men who turn to God for help is portrayed.

In them the dwellings of the Lord of hosts and a burning desire to enter into them are depicted; the prophecy of the Lord's redemption of men is expounded; and the Lord's descent into Hades is portrayed.

However, in order to make the Hours herein available for general use throughout the Church year, the Troparion and Kontakion to the Holy Cross are used.​​Used with permission.
