Camino de Santiago: Ruta de los Templarios

En este vídeo se muestran tres sitios cuya historia está de alguna manera ligada a la Orden de los Pobres Caballeros de Cristo (mejor conocida como la orden de los Caballeros templarios); a saber, el monasterio de San Juan de la Peña, en Aragón, y la iglesia de Santa María de Eunate y el pueblo de Puente la Reina en Navarra.

Los tres se encuentran sobre el camino a Santiago de Compostela, lo cual les confiere un interés especial por ser éste un camino iniciático.

El monasterio de San Juan de la Peña data del siglo XI; sin embargo, fue construido sobre otro mucho más antiguo que data del siglo VIII. De esa primera construcción sobrevive la iglesia baja o hispánica, cuyos frescos (o lo que queda de ellos) aparecen en el vídeo.

Es la leyenda del Santo Grial lo que liga a los Templarios con este monasterio pues, según la misma, el Santo Grial fue custodiado aquí de 1071 a 1399.

La Ermita de Santa María de Eunate en Navarra fue edificada siguiendo como modelo la planta octagonal de la ermita de Omar en Jerusalén. El mismo modelo también fue utilizado en la construcción de la Iglesia de la Vera Cruz en Segovia y en la de la Charola del Convento de Cristo en Tomar, Portugal.

Eunate significa cien (ehun) puertas (ate) en lengua vasca y hace referencia a la arquería que rodea a la ermita.

Muy cerca de Santa María de Eunate, en Puente la Reina, se encuentra una cruz muy peculiar en forma de pata de oca. Este símbolo está relacionado con el hermetismo y los cultos esotéricos con los cuales se vincula a los Templarios.

En cuanto a la musicalización, el canto polifónico que utilicé se llama "Crucem Sanctam" y es la primera melodía del disco "Le Chant des Templiers" interpretado por el Ensemble Organum.

Todas los cantos de esa grabación fueron sacados de un manuscrito del siglo XII llamado "Manuscrito del Santo Sepulcro de Jerusalén", el cual proviene de la basílica del mismo nombre, siendo sus autores de origen francés. O sea que música más original que ésta ¡no se puede pedir!

Incorrupt Bodies of the Saints

Incorruptibility is the property of a body — usually a human body — that does not decompose after death. Such a body is sometimes referred to as incorrupt or incorruptible (adjective) or as an incorruptible (noun).

Incorruptibility is seen as distinct from the good preservation of a body, or mummification. Incorruptible bodies are often said to have the Odour of Sanctity, a sweet smell.

The incorrupt bodies of these saints are simply a living witness or proof to the truth of the Catholic religion as the one true faith from God, who has confirmed the testimony of the Church in the great miracles he has worked through it's saints

Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor - Dies Irae

John Eliot Gardiner conducts the English Baroque Soloists and the Monteverdi Choir. This performance was filmed at the Palau de la Musica Catalana, Barcelona in Dec. 1991.

A Requiem Mass in the Roman Catholic tradition is a service designed to pray for the souls of the departed. The parts of the liturgy that are meant to be sung are what constitute all Requiem Mass compositions, including Mozart's.

The structure is as follows:
1. Introit
2. Kyrie
3. Sequence: a. Dies irae b. Tuba mirum c. Rex tremendae d. Recordare e. Confutatis f. Lacrimosa
4. Offertory: a. Domine Jesu Christe b. Hostias
5. Sanctus
6. Benedictus
7. Agnus Dei
8. Lux Aeterna

Mozart died before finishing the Requiem Mass, and his wife Constanze gave the task of finishing the work to a pupil of Mozart's named Süssmayr. From the Sanctus onward, the Requiem is the creation of Süssmayr, though he did use portions of the Introit and Kyrie for the Lux Aeterna.

Below is the Latin and the English translation for the Dies irae.

Dies iræ! dies illa
Day of wrath and terror looming!
Solvet sæclum in favilla
Heaven and earth to ash consuming,
Teste David cum Sibylla!
David's word and Sibyl's truth foredooming!

Quantus tremor est futurus,
What horror must invade the mind,
quando judex est venturus,
when the approaching judge shall find,
cuncta stricte discussurus!
and sift the deeds of all mankind.

* The word "mercy" is the translation of the Greek word "eleos". This word has the same ultimate root as the old Greek word for "oil", or more precisely, "olive oil". Olive oil was used extensively as a soothing agent for bruises and minor wounds. Also it was used to pour over the heads of New Kings as a symbol of divine election.
The Greek words "Kyrie, eleison" have the meaning "Lord, soothe me, comfort me, show me your steadfast LOVE...

Eucharistic Procession at UNL

This is a Eucharistic Procession held on November 1, 2006 (All Saints Day) on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The procession was organized by the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Newman Center.

The Eucharistic procession is a centuries-old tradition in the Catholic Church. Ever since Jesus instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper, His Church has consistently taught that Christ is truly and physically present--Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity--in the Blessed Sacrament. And so, fittingly, the Eucharistic procession is a form of adoration and evangelization as Christ is presented physically for all to witness as we accompany him. The Eucharist is the greatest treasure of the Church and so the Church wishes to bring this good news to all, just as the Angel brought the good news of Christ's birth to the shepherds: "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people!" (Luke 2:10)

"Do not be afraid to go out on the streets and into public places, like the first apostles who preached Christ and the good news of salvation in the squares of cities..." - Pope John Paul II

God Touches A Life: Catherine Laboure

God Touches A Life: Catherine Laboure, Messenger of Mary Immaculate - EWTN

Filmed at significant locations in her life, the story moves from her birth in 1806 to her death on the last day of 1876. A childhood dream of St. Vincent de Paul determined her choice of an order, the Daughters of Charity, which he founded. It was at the Motherhouse of the order, on the Rue du Bac in Paris 1830, that she received a series of visions of the Miraculous Medal. St . Catherines sanctity is ascribed not to her visions, but to her service to the poor, and her humility. Although the visions became known through circulation of the medal, the sister to whom the Blessed Mother appeared remained nameless, until she reveal ed it to her Superior 46 years later, in the last year of her life.

L'Eucharistie : la Bombe A d'Amour

L'Eucharistie, coeur de la foi catholique. C'est la présence réelle et agissante de Jésus Christ dasn l'hostie. A son contact, guérisons et conversions. Exemple avec la fraternité Eucharistein, qui accueille des "blessés de la vie".

Son fondateur, le Père Nicolas Buttet. Jeune intellectuel promis à une belle carrière d’homme politique et d’avocat en Suisse, c’est finalement à Dieu que Nicolas Buttet a choisi de consacrer sa vie. Des couloirs du Vatican à la fondation de la Fraternité Eucharistein, en passant par une vie d’ermite dans le canton du Valais, l’homme mérite le détour.

----

The Eucharist, Heart of the Catholic faith. It is the real presence of Jesus Christ in the host. With contact with the Host has come cures and conversions. As is seen with the example with the Eucharist Fraternity, which accomodates "casualties of life".

Its founder, the Father Nicolas Buttet. A young intellectual promised with a beautiful career as a politician and lawyer in Switzerland. It it was finally to God that Nicolas Buttet chose to devote his life. From the corridors of the Vatican to the foundation of Eucharistein Fraternity, while living a life of hermit in the Canton of Were Worth, the man deserves the life.

Sancta Missa - Feast of the Sacred Heart

Traditional Latin Mass filmed on the Feast of the Sacred Heart in the small chapel of the International Seminary of Saint Cure d'Ars, Flavigny, France, in 1999. The seminary is the Society of Saint Pius X's second European seminary. Typically seminarians spend their first year of spiritually there before leaving for Ecône, Switzerland, to complete their training.

The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass with Gregorian chant and polyphonic motets. Some local customs take place during the Mass. For example, birettas are not worn and the Domini Non Sum Dignus is recited aloud by all present.

This film has been encoded from an original source at the highest quality possible given the size restrictions of this media. Unfortunately this has resulted in a slightly blurred picture and mono sound rather than stereo. Apart from the addition of captions, the film remains unchanged.

The Prayer Of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Music by Sarah Mclaughlin

Schubert - Ava Maria

Franz Schubert - Ave Maria
German Opera

Ave Maria!
Jungfrau mild,
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen,
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hin wehen,
Zu dir hin wehen.
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen,
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind.
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen,
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
Unbefleckt,
Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken
Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt,
Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken
Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen
In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft.
O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen,
O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
Reine Magd,
Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen,
Von deines Auges Huld verjagt,
Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen
Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen,
Da uns dein heilger Trost anweht;
Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen,
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht!
Ave Maria!

Hermits of Bethlehem

This EWTN program, shown here in three parts, examines the way of life of the hermits of Bethlehem, along with their founder, Fr. Eugene L. Romano, providing a history of the group and a brief exploration of how they live and why they chose to do so. The program emphasizes that the hermits are neither rebellious nor anti-social. They do not seek to isolate themselves from a suffering humanity. Rather, through prayer and devotion, they seek to serve the Church and to be a spiritual support for all who are actively involved in carrying out the mission of Jesus.

Sümela Monastery

The Sümela Monastery (Greek: Παναγία Σουμελά, Turkish: Sümela Manastırı) stands at the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altındere valley which is in the Trazbzon Province on the Black Sea. The monastery was founded in the year 386 and it reached its present form in the 13th century. Monks and travellers continued to journey there throughout the years and the monastery was extremely popular up until the 19th century.

The Monastery was seized for a time by the Russians during the occupation of Trabzon between 1916 - 1918. It was finally abandoned in 1923, following the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey after the Treaty of Lausanne.

Saint Symeon the Stylite Monastery

This 5th century monastery is located in Syria. It was built around the pillar of St Symeon at the heart of the "dead cities" (a name given to a vast area of abandoned Christian sites). The cross-shaped church was the largest structure built in Christendom before Hagia Sophia was built by Justinian in Constantinople.

Transalpine Redemptorist Monks of Papa Stronsay, Scotland

Excerpt from a documentary series featuring the Transalpine Redemptorist monks of Papa Stronsay, Scotland - a congregation of traditionalist Catholic Fathers and Brothers of both Eastern and Western Rite from all over the world. The documentary was filmed in September 2003 and originally aired on Channel 4 (UK) in 2004.

The congregation was founded in 1988 by Fr Michael Mary and Fr Anthony Mary on the advice of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Their aim was to found a new Redemptorist congregation which observed the original Rule of Saint Alphonsus and ignored the reforms adopted by modern Redemptorists following the Second Vatican Council.

The congregation moved from the Isle of Sheppy in Kent, England, to Papa Stronsay in 1999. The island was considered ideal because of its seclusion from the world and ancient connection with the monastic tradition. As well as producing their own newspaper, the monks raise their own cattle and sheep and they produce most of their own food.

Veni Creator Spiritus

One of the most widely used hymns in the Church, Veni, Creator Spiritus, is attributed to Rabanus Maurus (776-856). It is used at Vespers, Pentecost, Dedication of a Church, Confirmation, and Holy Orders and whenever the Holy Spirit is solemnly invoked. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is recited on January 1st or on the feast of Pentecost.



Performed by Hortus Musicus from Estonia.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Millions of Catholics now recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet, which Jesus taught to St. Faustina. Jesus said, "Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from my Infinite Mercy."

This program or another rendeition currently airs most days on EWTN.







The Divine Mercy Devotion

Devotion to The Divine Mercy involves a total commitment to God as Mercy. It is a decision to trust completely in Him, to accept His mercy with thanksgiving, and to be merciful as He is merciful.

The devotional practices proposed in the diary of Saint Faustina are completely in accordance with the teachings of the Church and are firmly rooted in the Gospel message of our Merciful Savior. Properly understood and implemented, they will help us grow as genuine followers of Christ.

Merciful Heart

There are two scriptural verses that we should keep in mind as we involve ourselves in these devotional practices:

1. "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me" (Is 29:13);

2. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt 5:7).

This sung version of the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy, shown on EWTN Network, was filmed live at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where the Chaplet is recited everday during the three o'clock hour.

Missa Solemnis

Traditional Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then-Mgr. Fulton J. Sheen. Celebrated by Rev. J. R. Keane of the Order of Servites (hence the white habits and cowls), the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir, orchestra, and fifty Gregorian Chanters.

The attention to detail in the ceremonies is impressive. Notice, for example, how the servers and ministers always take great care to move in order. Notice too that the servers are all almost identical in height. The Ordinary of the Mass, composed by Rev. Edwin V. Hoover, while pleasant in places, is very much a reflection of its time. The Proper on the other hand is timeless and sung admirably by a healthy throng of Seminarians from Mundelein, Illinois.

Unfortunately due to size restrictions at Youtube around 20 mins have been cut from the original. Apologies from the editor for the error in the captions for the two parts of the Mass (software). The first part is of couse the Mass of the Catechumens, the second is the Mass of the Faithful.
