The Maronite Servants of Christ the Light were in Washington
D.C. from Wednesday, May 25th to Sunday May 29th for
music classes at our Maronite Seminary with
The Maronite Divine Praises (the Maronite Liturgy of the Hours) is currently under review in
Lebanon. At present, several of hymns, psalm tones and chants have been completed and translated into English. We are still awaiting
the final version of the full text. As Maronite Servant Sisters, we pray the Maronite Divine
Praises three times a day (morning, evening and night).
Fr. Geoffrey taught us several of the new hymns,
tones, chants and melodies to be sung during Morning and Evening Prayer across
the Maronite Liturgical seasons.
On Sunday, May 29th, following Divine Liturgy at
Our Lady of Lebanon, the Sisters participated in a Holy Hour with the parish
for vocations to priestly and religious life. It was a great blessing to pray
with our parishioners, who so often pray for us.
