About the author

Dom Prosper Louis Pascal Guéranger, Servant of God, was a Benedictine priest, abbot of Solesmes Abbey (which he founded in the disused priory of Solesmes) and founder of the French Benedictine Congregation (now the Solesmes Congregation). Dom Guéranger was the author of The Liturgical Year, which covers every day of the Catholic Church's Liturgical Cycle in 15 volumes. He was well regarded by Pope Pius IX, and was a proponent of the dogmas of papal infallibility and the Immaculate Conception. Dom Guéranger is credited with reviving the Benedictine Order in France, and revitalizing the Tridentine Mass.

I did not realize that Corpus Christi used to be celebrated on Thursday. And what a celebration it was! The readings and lessons are beautiful. I saved them to read today so that I could be in sync with our Liturgical year.

Essential to the spiritual life

Dom Prosper Gueranger provides considerable material for contemplation and preparation for Mass in each volume and especially this one. The time following Pentecost is anything but 'ordinary' as the author beautifully demonstrates.
