ECHOES OF EPHESUS (CD)
"To sing is the work of a lover," St. Augustine once said. At the Priory of Our Lady of Ephesus, the Benedictines of Mary, with their close-knit family spirituality, pass their days in peace; prayer and work balance and sustain each other. Much of their day is spent chanting the Divine Office in Latin. Still, it is not uncommon during recreation for the nuns to spontaneously break into joyful singing of hymns learned, like many recorded here. Includes ancient and traditional pieces, along with original compositions by the sisters; they hope you enjoy hearing these hymns as much as they enjoy singing them at the Priory. Includes booklet with lyrics. 24 selections, total time 52:10

CHRISTMAS AT EPHESUS (CD)
Close your eyes and let these Benedictine sisters transport you to a stable on a snowy night in Bethlehem.

"We recorded a fresh translation of Silent Night from the original German. One of the sisters did the translation and another set it to music." Booklet includes lyrics and any translations. 23 selections; total time: 67:35.

MARIAN HYMNS OF EPHESUS (CD)
Marian hymns and chants sung with devotion by the sisters at the Priory of Our Lady of Ephesus: "Ave Maria!" the words of the angel Gabriel are reechoed by each Benedictine of Mary each time she begins a work. All her actions, all her being is consecrated to Mary, Queen of Apostles, knowing, as St. Thérèse said, she is "more mother than Queen." Devotion to Mary is carried throughout the day, at the rosary, and also at Mass and the Divine Office in the hymns and chants recorded here. Includes booklet with lyrics; 19 selections, total time 55:00
