Tyburn Convent DVD: Gloria Deo

The Tyburn Nuns, Adorers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Montmatre released their DVD, Gloria Deo recently. It features some insights into their lives as contemplative Benedictine Nuns, showing their many convents and monasteries around the world. Mother Mary Xavier McMonagle, the Mother General has said she hopes those who watch the DVD will “serve God more sincerely in their own lives”.  When asked whether she thinks more vocations will result from the DVD, Mother said she was more focused on informing the general public that the contemplative monastic life is one of “vibrant, joyous, and holy dedication to God” and that it was “well worth living” for all those touched by it, not just the nuns themselves.

One of the features in the DVD is the expansion of the religious community, especially, it is emphasised, at a time where many of the female religious communities around the world are in decline.

Tyburn convent is situated in Marble Arch, at the site of the Tyburn Gallows, where many martyrs were hanged, and has become a centre for international pilgrimage. From parish groups to pilgrims from around the world, the number of visitors to Tyburn Convent has blossomed.
