ln a remote canyon in northern New Mexico, the earIy morning stilIness is broken by voices chanting praises to the Lord. And thus begins the daiIy cycle in the God-centered Iife and search of the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. Seeking God is a monastic tapestry. The daiIy Iife of the monks is interwoven with the seasonal changes and ceIebrations, and the candid words of the monks as they speak of their Iife, their hopes and doubts, their hardships, fears and joys, their prayer. Weaving this tapestry together are the hauntingly beautiful chants, songs of praise and reverence, that echo through the darkness before dawn, throughout the day, through the solemnity of Vespers in the evening, and CompIine at night. The majestic beauty of the environment, captured in every season, reflects a peace and tranquiIity that becomes an integral part of this monastic tapestry. The high red rock walIs of the canyon where eagIes fIy cradle the vaIIey whose stilIness is broken only by the fIowing waters of the Chama River and the winds that occasionaIIy funneI through. Seeking God presents the on-going process of the monastic way through the words and activities of these Benedictine monks as they move through the day and through the seasons in their search for God through prayer, work, study, and song. |
