Great Comfort

On the 2nd of November, I caught a flight from Vienna to Dublin.  I spent the evening of 2 November in Dublin.  The next morning I took the train west to Limerick, where I caught a taxi to Glenstal Abbey.  I stayed at Glenstal Abbey for a couple of days.  It was there that I first experienced monks chanting the Divine Office live.  I had not imagined the Beatitudes being chanted before I heard the Glenstal monks chanting them, which I greatly enjoyed.  I find great comfort in the chanting of the Divine Office.  I appreciate the frequent reminder in the Divine Office of the eternal nature of God.
