Everywhere ICE CREAM MILK Christmas In A Cistercian Monastery (Continued From Page 3-B) linen corporal or in the pure gold of the ciborium cup. Jesus comes thus only soon to be lifted up again by the priest and laid upon the tongues of the communicants. It is at this mo ment of Communion that Christ mas is really celebrated in the heart of the monk, for while it is his privilege to receive Our Lord every day, his Christmas Com munion brings the special grace of a more intimate share in the Mystery of the Incarnation. EVERYTHING BUT THE TURKEY The Office of Lauds is sung after the Mass, and then all the monks retire to bed till 5:30 a. m,, when all rise for another Office in choir (Prime), followed by the daily Chapter, which is short this day, consisting of a fatherly greeting from the Reve rend Father Superior to all the community, and could well be called a “family-get-together.” Then follow the Masses of all the priests of the Monastery, each of whom is privileged to offer three Masses on this day. In this way, the Holy Sacrifice is offered 42 times at the various altars in the Chapel. The usual High Mass is sung at 10:30 a. m., and this is followed by dinner. Here it might be mentioned that the Brother Cook has been working hard to prepare the tasty Christmas dinner with ev erything but the traditional tur key! Thus, even on the natural level, the monk will feast on this great day with moderation, en joying some specialties, not or dinarily found on the daily mon astic fare. In other words, he celebrates this Feast as the Jews were commanded to do by the Lord on their great Feasts of the Old Law: “You shall make merry at your feast . . . you shall do naught but make merry!” (Deu teronomy 16: 11, 15). At 3:00 p. m. second Vespers of the Feast are sung, followed by Benediction of the Most Bles sed Sacrament, during which the “Adeste fideles” is sung. Supper at 5:00 p. m. is followed by one of those heart-warming family treats. The community gathers around the harmonium in the Chapter and sings carols to gether, especially the old favo rites, “Silent Night,” “Come, all ye faithful,” “Hark, the Herald Angels sing,” and “God rest you, merry gentlemen!” It must be remembered that the monks have lived through this Christmas day without speaking to one another, and yet this does not prevent a spontan eous family spirit from reigning amongst them. One has only to witness this gathering of men of every temperament and varied background, united in the bonds of brotherly love, to realize that the genuine joy and peace of Christ fill their hearts, something the world could never give them. 'HAIL, HOLY QUEEN' And yet Christmas Day has not ended for the Cistercian monk. Like every other Cistercian day, it ends at the feet of Our Blessed Mother. As the evening darkness descends upon "the Shenandoah Valley, a chance visitor, coming up the winding path and steps to the Monastery Chapel, would dis cern the white cross above the hell-tower. Upon entering., the Chapel, he would see the white- robed figures of the choir monks and brown-robed figures of the lay brothers filing into the Chap el at 6:30 p. m. to sing Compline. A small night light and the sanc tuary lamp cast a soft glow through the darkness, but as Compline ends, the statue of Our Lady suddenly appears from its (Continued on Page 14-B) TOM PHILLIPS FLOOR COVERING COMPANY PHONE 2-7343 i 511 — Hth Street —Columbus, Go.
