Seminarians can sometimes show a bit of school pride. Sometimes that takes the form of cheering on your brothers at an inter-seminary tournament, or explaining over the phone to benefactors and potential benefactors the things that make your seminary great. Other times, it can be comparing notes with friends at other seminaries to see what it\u2019s like somewhere else \u2013 and sometimes, maybe at least a bit, try to show your own school\u2019s superiority.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
St. Meinrad Archabbey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m a student at St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, run by the monks of St. Meinrad Archabbey. A criticism I often get from men at other schools comes in the form of a question: What business do monks have training diocesan clergy? Apparently I\u2019m not the only one who has heard this question. Recently our President-Rector, Fr. Denis Robinson OSB, and Archabbot Kurt Stasiak OSB took on that question.<\/p>\n

Benedictines certainly offer a treasure-trove, not only to men in formation for secular priesthood, but for the Church as a whole as well. The Rule<\/em> truly is a handbook of the Christian life whose beauty and simplicity can teach us all quite a bit.<\/p>\n

But I think there\u2019s more. These monks also have quite a bit to teach us about the most important thing that we will do as priests \u2013 the celebration of the liturgy. The monks have taught me that liturgy is something that absolutely must be central to our lives.<\/p>\n

Every morning, we gather for Morning Prayer in our sandstone-covered chapel. The cantor and the congregation go back and forth, stanza by stanza, with the words of the psalms and canticles echoing through the chapel. We pray the psalms through chant, using the Meinrad psalm tones composed here. At first, we\u2019re not that great, but eventually we get the hang of it\u2026and then sometimes fall back into sounding horrendous. We learn that there\u2019s something about these words \u2013they\u2019re important enough to sing; they\u2019re important enough to wake up early for;\u00a0 they\u2019re important enough to be the sounds that break the house quiet begun the night before.<\/p>\n

Then we go about our day. We go to a couple of classes, we hang out in the halls and in the refectory in-between, talking about what we did over the weekend, what we\u2019re doing this weekend, what we\u2019ve been learning in class\u2026you get the idea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
St. Joseph Chapel, St. Meinrad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then the community comes back together. Right in the middle of our day is the celebration of Mass. Everything stops for everyone. We stop the work of the day and come together because a something wondrous is about to take place \u2013 we gather to be nourished by the Word both in hearing him proclaimed and receiving him in the Eucharist.<\/p>\n

Our celebration of the Mass may surprise some \u2013 there are no rows of men in cassocks, collars, and surplices, with hands folded perfectly, fitting into the mold of what the person next to them believes a seminarian should be. Rather, there are rows of broken men and women \u2013 seminarians, lay graduate students, women religious, professors, visitors, friends \u2013 taking a break from the burden of the day, at least for a time, to lay those burdens at the altar.<\/p>\n

We end our day in community as we began it. The community comes together for Vespers, sometimes with Exposition and Benediction. We pick up the rhythm that will hopefully serve as a foundation for our life away from here \u2013 that sometimes you need to drop what you\u2019re doing and pray with the Church, for the Church, and for the world, because you know that without God\u2019s help and the graces flowing from that time with him, there\u2019s no way you can do what you\u2019re setting out to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, what business do monks have teaching me how to be a diocesan priest? I think it is the fact that they are what we are called to be as well \u2013 men of prayer, who center their lives around the liturgy, and who work to see how that celebration influences the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

The monks teach us that what we do in the chapel, the time we spend in our rooms on our knees in prayer, is of the greatest importance \u2013 that it\u2019s worth risking everything for, even our very lives. They help us to become excited at the prospect of someday presiding at liturgies. They teach us how to do so in a way that points not to us, but to the God who is the center of our lives\u2026 the God whom we encounter in the parish, in the nursing home, at the bedside in the hospital, since wherever two or three are gathered, so too is God there among them.<\/p>\n

This is short and is rather simple glimpse into the liturgical life of a seminarian. My thoughts may be different from my brothers here, and even more so from my brothers at other seminaries.<\/p>\n

I believe that my main point, though, would hold true elsewhere also: the seminarians of today\u2019s Church are excited to serve the people of God. They know that their best source of strength and ministry is the principal work of the Church: the worship of God in the liturgy.<\/p>\n
