“The monks spend several hours a day singing the mass and the divine office. It is almost part of the air we breathe. There is a lot of pollution in our world and the pure air of the Gregorian chant is like a breath of fresh air, ”said Father Cassian Folsom, who is prior of the Benedictine monastery in Nursia.

“The song is beautiful and our souls need beauty to grow and develop. The song is the love of the Church to her Lord, it expresses the love that is in the heart of the monk ", said Cassian and added:" We monks are normal people and our experience is, in a sense, the experience of any other man. .
I am convinced that this beauty in the song will serve as true spiritual food for those who listen to it ”.
