Eight times a day, a group of nuns files into a chapel in their rural northwest Missouri monastery to chant and worship.
Quite unexpectedly, this private, prayerful pursuit has made the Benedictines of Mary a chart-topping recording industry curiosity. After being named Billboard's No. 1 Classical Traditional Artist of 2012 and 2013, the nuns released their third album, called "Lent At Ephesus," Feb. 11 on the De Montfort Music/Decca/Universal Classics label.

It might be disappointing to some FReepers who believe me to be Anti-Catholic, but I remeber fondly of being with my very Catholic Grandparents was going to chapels in which such angelic chants were sung.

When I need deep concentration as a software developer I turn on Gregorian Chant.

My Mom was Pentecostal...my Dad Catholic.
His sis was a daily communicant and once in a while she took me to Mass with her.
I didn’t understand a word but was fascinated by the music, bells and smell of incense...and the ladies dressed in black bride’s dresses.
I hated when they started dressing like spinster school teachers with bad perms.
Habits demand respect.
