Gregorian chant has been central to monastic life for over a millennium. Monks, especially in Benedictine, Cistercian, and other monastic orders, have historically sung Gregorian chant as part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which structures daily prayer into a cycle of psalms, hymns, and readings. Here is a video of the Dominican friars singing Salve Regina, offering a beautiful and prayerful rendition of the hymn. Video: Irish Dominicans

Lenten Penances: Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving In the Christian tradition, Lent is a period of letting go of idols that hold us back from becoming whom we yearn to be. The 40 days of Lent mirror the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert praying and fasting in preparation for his public ministry. It's a sacred time to prepare for rebirth in the joy of our own resurrection. Often monasteries do a silent retreat to start Lent. During this time, they use the ancient Lenten spiritual framework of "prayer, fasting, and almsgiving" to set specific goals for transformation during Lent.

Benedictine monks follow a rhythm of life known as ora et labora, prayer and work, a hallmark of their spiritual tradition. In this way of life, every action, even the most ordinary, is offered to God. After meals, the monks continue this spirit of devotion by giving thanks through a brief prayer or the chanting of psalms. This simple act of gratitude reflects their belief that all nourishment and every moment of daily life are gifts received from the Lord. Video: Monastery of the Holy Cross
