Continual prayer
Perpetual prayer (Latin: ''laus perennis'') is the Christian practice of continuous prayer carried out by a group.
==History==
The practice of perpetual prayer was inaugurated by the archimandrite Alexander (died about 430), the founder of the monastic Acoemetae or "vigil-keepers".
''Laus perennis'' was imported to Western Europe at St. Maurice's Abbey in Agaunum, where it was carried on, day and night, by several choirs, or ''turmae'', who succeeded each other in the recitation of the divine office, so that prayer went on without cessation. Called the ''Akoimetoi'' ("Sleepless Ones"), these monks prayed "a monastic round of twenty-four offices to fill every hour."〔Barbara H. Rosenwein, "Perennial Prayer at Agaune", in Sharon Farmer and Barbara H. Rosenwein eds., (''Monks and Nuns, Saints and Outcasts: Religion in Medieval Society'' ) 37, 41-42. Cornell Univ. Press 2000. Google Books search, retrieved January 7, 2010.〕 The inauguration of ''laus perennis'' at Agaunum circa 515 was the occasion of a solemn ceremony, and of a sermon by St. Avitus which survives.〔''Catholic Encyclopedia'': "Agaunum" (On-line text ).〕 The "custom of Agaunum", as it came to be called, spread over Gaul, to Lyons, Châlons, the Abbey of Saint Denis, to Luxeuil, Saint-Germain at Paris, Saint Medard at Soissons, to Saint-Riquier, and was taken up by the monks of Remiremont Abbey and Laon Abbey, though the Abbey of Agaunum had ceased to practice it from the beginning of the ninth century.〔''Catholic Encyclopedia'': "Acometae" (On-line text ).〕
