NOTRE-DAME DE FONTGOMBAULT (Indre, 1948)
Le monastère de Fontgombault fut fondé en 1091 par Pierre de l'Étoile, avec des ermites qui vivaient dans les environs. L'abbaye fut fermée en 1742. À partir de 1849, une communauté de moines cisterciens y vécut jusqu'en 1905. En 1948, le monastère fut restauré par un groupe de moines venus de Saint-Pierre de Solesmes.

ABBAYE NOTRE-DAME DE DONEZAN - CARCARNIÈRES

Ce monastère a été fondé par l’abbaye de Fontgombault (Indre) à l’automne 1994 sur le site de Gaussan. Dans le but de trouver une plus grande solitude, le monastère se déplace maintenant dans un endroit encore plus reculé. 

Communauté AbbayeAbbaye Saint Paul Wisques . Choeur de l'église de l'Abbaye Notre Dame deTriorsL'abbaye Notre-Dame de Triors renoue avec un long passé monastique : en 1984, quatorze moines bénédictins de Fontgombault répondent à l'invitation qui leur est faite de s'établir dans le château de Triors construit au XVII° siècle par Charles de Lionne de Lesseins, abbé commendataire de Saint-Calais non loin de Solesmes.
    Le site, ample plateau verdoyant adossé aux collines et face au Vercors, se prête à la vie de silence et de travail des moines, qui y perpétuent la tradition monastique de la région.

La vie bénédictine interrompue par la Révolution est restaurée en France par Dom Guéranger, en 1833, à Solesmes (Sarthe).
C'est cette communauté qui relève l'antique abbaye de Fontgombault (Indre) en 1948.
Envoyés de Fontgombault, les premiers moines arrivent à Randol en mai 1971 et le nouveau monastère est "inauguré" le 16 octobre de la même année.
Le prieuré de Randol est érigé en Abbaye la 21 mars 1981 et le premier Abbé de Randol, Dom Éric de Lesquen, reçoit la bénédiction de l'évêque de Clermont, le 24 juin de cette même année.
La dédicace de l'église abbatiale est célébrée solennellement le 5 octobre 1985.

Le 15 novembre 2003, les moines de Randol élisent leur deuxième Abbé, Dom Bertrand de Hédouville, qui reçoit la bénédiction le 30 janvier 2004. 

There were so many vocations that Fontgombault had to found new monasteries. As the American novices needed to get a solid formation, the project to found in America was put off for many years, but not forgotten.
Beginning in 1991, Dom Antoine Forgeot, abbot of Notre-Dame de Fontgombault Abbey began to make exploratory trips to the United States, accompanied by Dom Francis Bethel. After visiting many sites in several states and after many hesitations, a property was found in 1998, in the diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma, that struck the abbot and many others as very well suited for the American foundation. It was a ranch located along Clear Creek. The idea was approved by the Chapter of the French abbey and on the feast of the Assumption of that same year 1998, a charter was signed between the abbot of Fontgombault and the bishop of Tulsa formally recognizing the existence of the new foundation.

The Great Treasure Of The Latin Mass That Most Catholics Do Not Know Or Do Not Like

The Great Treasure Of The Latin Mass That Most Catholics Do Not Know Or Do Not Like

August 6th is the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mt. Tabor.  We celebrated it with the Holy Latin Missa Cantata.
transfiguration_ANGELICO, FraAs I was offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, again, I was struck with its sacredness and what a great treasure it really is.
Here is some evidence that it is the great treasure given to us by God;
1) It is ancient and sacred, a liturgy that was left to us by Jesus.
2)  It development has been guided by the Holy Ghost and has developed VERY VERY SLOWLY over HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of years.
3) Anyone who studies or offers this mass is struck by reverence given to the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ by the priest and those who receive Him in Holy Communion.
4) The multilayered actions of the priest, altar boys, people and choir at each one of the different Holy Latin Masses (Low Mass, Missa Cantata, Solemn High Mass).
a) The priest doing his part perfectly according to the strict rubrics.
b) The altar boys assisting the priest by doing their parts with precision.
c) The people praying and doing their part of offering themselves to God in union with Jesus.
d) The cantor, the organist and choir doing their part by adding to the grandeur of the Holy Mass by their beautiful singing and music.
Messa-in-latino 2After intellectually studying the genius of the Latin Mass, you can then go and just experience it.  Especially at the times in the Holy Mass when there are multilayered actions going on at the same time.  Like when the priest is saying the Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus, the altar boys are ringing the bells and the choir is singing the same prayers, but at a different pace.   And when each one is doing their part together, it truly effects a real participation in heaven while we are still here on earth.  It is a taste of the divine.
How blessed are the few traditional Catholics who are to be able to enter into this divine action of God at the Missa Cantata, and experience its beauty that comes down from heaven.
How sad it is that so many Catholics have never experience this sacred experience.  But what is really sad and plain out evil, is that many Catholic despise God’s treasure of the Holy Latin Mass just because they think they know better than God and do not like Latin.
Hans Bol_Prayer Book_Belgium (Antwerp)_1582_Francois-Hercule de France a la Messe_BNF_Latin 10564_fol. 6vThese catholics have been influenced by the protestant meal, (done in memory last supper), that has been detached from Jesus sacrifice on the cross at Calvary.  At these popular protestantized masses, everyone is happy, (like MacDonald’s Happy mean), because they are able to get an easy fast religious experience accompanied by a lot of human fellowship and adulation.
Most people would take the Beatles any day over Bach.  Most people do not even know who I mean when I say Bach.  They are totally ignorant of the great classical musical pieces.  But just because they are ignorant does not take away from the genius and beauty of Bach’s music.
Latin Mass Easter 2010 004May God help us show other Catholics the great treasure of the Holy Latin Mass.  May we also share it with all people, so they also can experience a bit of heaven here on earth.  But above all we want to pray that God will open the hearts and minds of these people to be able to see that God is the artist behind His work of the Holy Latin Mass and is an eternal gift to everyone from Him.
