THE LORD
By Romano Guardini
As more than thirty thousand readers already testify, Monsignor Guardini's masterpiece is the book on Christ that speaks most clearly to our generation. And as each year goes by, thousands more discover for themselves, or are led by friends, to the beauty and profundity of its pages. Reviewers have had difficulty in finding words in which to express their admiration: "delight" . . . "brooding luminosity" . . . "unforgettable" "a spiritual workout" . . . "monumental" . . . "reverence and adoration" . . . "glorious fruit." These are some of the attempts to communicate the impact of Guardini's meditations on Our Lord, which "transport us to the first century and at the same time transfix us in our own."

A ND MARY SAID: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shelved might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent aivay empty. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy. As he spoke to our fathers: Abraham and to his seed forever.
From the Holy Gospel of St. Luke I, 46-55
With the quietness and simplicity of profound faith, Father Josef Weiger has written a meditation on the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is especially appropriate for the contemporary reader, since its dominant theme is Mary as the mediatrix of divine grace.
By means of Sacred Scripture and homiletic illustration, Father Weiger traces Mary's life through the great and salient mysteries of our faith: the Annunciation and Incarnation, the life and death of Our Lord. His thoughtful prose illuminates the interwoven life of Christ and his mother in the divine plan for the redemption of man, and brings to us a full realization of Mary as the Mother of God—"the Mother of Our Faith."
Father Josef Weiger is a parish priest of Württemberg, Germany. For several years this book has enjoyed acclaim throughout Europe as the most important Mary-book of our generation. At the suggestion of Msgr. Romano Guardini, it has for the first time been translated into English. Vissza
