In a remote canyon in northern New Mexico the early morning
stillness is broken by voices chanting praises to the Lord. And
thus begins the daily cycle in the Godcentered life and search of
the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of Christ in the
Desert.Seeking God is a monastic tapestry. The daily life of the
monks is interwoven with the seasonal changes and celebrations and
the candid words of the monks as they speak of their life 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 Compline at night. The majestic beauty of the
environment captured in every season reflects a peace and
tranquility that becomes an integral part of this monastic
tapestry. The high red rock walls of the canyon where eagles fly
cradle the valley whose stillness is broken only by the flowing
waters of the Chama River and the winds that occasionally funnel
through. Seeking God presents the ongoing 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.
