Vocations
Priestly
and Religious Communities
of Catholic Tradition
"Without
monasteries, without the examples of the contemplative religious
consecrated to the continual praise of God, the Church will never
recover from the present crisis. In order to traverse this present
crisis, there must be more monasteries, more souls willing to devote
their whole life to prayer and intercession."
(Archbishop Lefebvre)
"Upon
thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed guardsmen. All the day
and all the night long, they will not hold their peace from praising
the Name of the Lord." (Antiphon from the Benedictine Breviary)
