  Follow the spiritual wisdom of one of the twentieth century’s great theologians, Romano Guardini, as you prepare your mind, body, and heart for Mass. Guardini’s sacramental imagination influenced the liturgical renewal that took shape in the Second Vatican Council, and has been highly praised by Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. Romano Guardini’s Meditations before Mass and Sacred Signs collects two seminal works from Guardini that are both filled with brief meditations on the fundamental elements and actions of the liturgy. Taken together, these two classics provide readers with a treasure-trove of reflections on the source and summit of Christian life—The Eucharist. Romano Guardini’s Meditations before Mass is a set of thirty-two reflections on what the Mass asks of us, and how we might properly respond. The book is divided into two parts:  Part one focuses on cultivating the appropriate dispositions we need to bring to Mass.  Part two delves into the various dimensions of the Mass and the movements that demand our attention.    Sacred Signs goes on to explore in twenty-six short meditations the actual things of the Mass as they are used sacramentally—water and wine, kneeling and standing, altar and linens—and the ways that they make spiritual and eternal realities visible. Likened to a mother who teaches her child to do the sign of the Cross, and a teacher who instructs his student as to the meaning of the act, Guardini hoped that he “could bring the sacred signs to life” for the reader. Together, these works reorient our attention and understanding so that, in Guardini’s words, “the gaze lifted to the altar (can) grow inwardly quiet and receptive to holiness.”  Though both works were written before Vatican II, their relevance has only grown over the years. They are a spiritual feast for the mind and heart, and a guide for modern people who wish to make sense of the Church’s feasts and liturgies. Romano Guardini’s Meditations before Mass and Sacred Signs are wise, pastoral, and timeless classics on preparing for and savoring the Mass from a theological giant at his very best, yet relatable and meaningful to everyday Catholics who want to deepen their worship through the Mass.

  Justice in Dealing with Others -...

  Justice is a fundamental concept that has shaped human societies for centuries. It refers to the principles of fairness, equality, and moral rightness that govern interactions between individuals, communities, and institutions. In its broadest sense, justice is about ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of their background, status, or circumstances. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including law, ethics, politics, and social relationships, all of which are vital to creating a balanced and harmonious society. 
  The importance of justice cannot be overstated. Without it, societies risk descending into chaos and inequality. History provides numerous examples of injustice, from oppressive regimes to discriminatory practices, that have caused harm to individuals and groups. At its core, justice aims to prevent harm and ensure that people receive what they are due – whether that be rights, resources, or recognition. It seeks to promote fairness, resolve disputes, and protect the vulnerable, while holding individuals accountable for their actions. 
  Justice is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It is influenced by various philosophical and cultural perspectives that shape how it is understood and applied. In Western thought, justice has often been closely tied to concepts such as the rule of law, individual rights, and democratic governance. In other cultures, justice may be framed through the lens of collective responsibility, harmony, or social roles. These differing perspectives reflect the complexity of justice as a concept and the challenges in applying it universally.

  What If Jesus Was Serious about...

  Researchers have uncovered the following three trends: First, distrust of institutions, including the church, is at an all-time high. Second, young people raised in the church are leaving at alarming rates and not returning. Third, loneliness and social isolation are at pandemic levels. What’s the connection? It appears that an entire generation is starving for the very thing the church is called to provide but has chosen to look for it elsewhere. Why is this happening? Following the model set by What If Jesus Was Serious?—short readings and engaging illustrations—What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church? looks at what the Bible really says about the church, its purpose, and the impact of its modern captivity to consumer values. Rather than an event, a building, or an institution, the New Testament calls the church to be a community living in communion with God and one another for the sake of the world.
