A treasury of spiritual wisdom on how to prepare your mind, body, and heart for Mass from one of the twentieth century’s great theologians, Meditations before Mass is Romano Guardini’s smart and beautiful guide to spiritual preparation for the source and summit of Christian worship.

Meditations before Mass is a wise, pastoral, and timeless classic on preparing for Mass—it is an example of twentieth-century theologian Romano Guardini at his very best. Meditations before Mass was written before Vatican II, but its relevance has endured over the past sixty years. Not a “how to” book for either the old or the new Roman Rite, it is instead 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. Meditations before Mass has helped thousands of readers participate more fully in Christian liturgy and continues to do so today.

Features & Benefits:

    • Guardini is considered by Catholic scholars to be a theological giant.
    • Guardini’s work was hugely influential on the Second Vatican Council and is essential reading for those who wish to better understand how the new Mass came about.
    • An accessible and pastoral work by a theological genius that can be appreciated by specialists and non-specialists alike.
    • Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, a student of Guardini’s, paid homage to Guardini by naming his own book on the liturgy after Guardini’s The Spirit of the Liturgy.
