Gregorianske melodier for fastetiden

Publisert av

Media_vita-dominicanÅ synge dagens siste tidebønn, kompletorium, er en rolig og fredfylt måte å avslutte dagen på. I fastetiden er den særlig vakker med egne gregorianske hymner, responsorier og antifoner: hymnen Christe, qui lux es et dies, responsoriene In pace og Media vita og antifonene Evigila super nos og O Rex gloriose.

Media vita in morte sumus peker fram mot langfredagsliturgien, der noen av de samme ordene kommer igjen: Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et misericors Salvator… Du kan høre dominikanerbrødre i Oxford synge den på Youtube.

Alle melodiene finnes i den nye samlingen Cantus selecti OP med dominikansk gregoriansk musikk for alle årets liturgiske tider. Det er også innspillinger å få tak i, blant annet CDen Gregorien Chant – Dominican Liturgy.

Jubilée of the de Order in Lund : Word and Truth

The following presentation was given as a part of the 800 years jubilee celebrations in Lund on May 20-22, 2016 by the Master of the Order, Bruno Cadoré OP.

Bruno Cadoré OP

This title Word and Truth – chosen for this dialogue at the time of the celebration of the Jubilee about the Preachers – clarifies the horizon even of the mission of the Order. We indeed like to say that the Order – nuns, sisters, laity, brothers – are joined together in a common seeking the truth, of which they wish being the “servants” in the middle of their contemporaries.

In a context of deep changes of the knowledge, societies, Church, Domingo de Guzman wanted this Order entirely devoted to the Word. But, we well know that Christianity is not the religion of a “book”: it is the religion of a “word” addressed to humanity by The One which is Alpha and the Omega. To be a preacher, it is to put oneself at the service of this addressed Word, to engage all his or her life to be servant of the conversation which God – as revealed by Jesus-Christ – wishes to maintain with humanity that It created, with which God establishes an Alliance, and with which He promises the grace to be one day in full communion with Him.

Government, Spirituality and Freedom

On the feast of St Dominic we present a letter from the Master of the Order, Bruno Cadoré:

Dominic: Government, Spirituality and Freedom

Dominikus‘If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’ (John 8:31-32); ‘For freedom Christ set us free’ (Gal 5:1)

The truth will set you free! Echoing this promise of Jesus, the image that is forced on me is that of the group that walked with Jesus, announcing the kingdom from town to town. Each one in their own way had been freed. Freed from the weight of their mistakes, the impasses of their lies, the heaviness of their history, from alienating divisions … driven by the desire of their Master and Lord to go even to other cities, they accompanied him, confident so as to hold themselves, with him, in a Breath that made them day by day more free to be themselves, free to have been given this friendship offered by God with His Son, free to be sent. Free to be disciples of Christ and in turn to invite others to join them. It is the Breath of Jesus’ preaching that sets them free, even though they had perhaps not really considered what they had become involved in by responding to his invitation to follow him, or by joining him on their own initiative in appreciation of the mercy which was his grace to them. By staying by his side in his proclamation of the kingdom, they discover that they are becoming even more free than they had ever dared to hope. Free because of the Word of their friend and Lord. ’If you remain in my Word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’. Freed by the Word of truth! Les videre →

Bønn og kontemplasjon er grunnlaget for all dominikansk virksomhet. Derfor er det skrevet en egen bønn for 800-årsjubileet som alle søstre, brødre og lekfolk oppfordres til å be som forberedelse til feiringen. Den engelske versjonen er slik:

St Dominic walkingGod, Father of mercy,

who called your servant Dominic de Guzman

to set out in faith

as itinerant pilgrim and preacher of grace,

as we prepare to celebrate the Jubilee of the Order

we ask you to pour again into us

the Spirit of the Risen Christ,

that we might faithfully and joyfully proclaim

the Gospel of peace,

through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
