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.

[Kristi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Indispensable aid for a season that the modern Church has abandoned -- Septuagesima, or pre-Lent, which prepares us to have a thoughtful, focused Lent.

Dom Gueranger was a French priest and Benedictine monk (abbot of Solesmes Abbey) who wrote beautifully about Scripture, Church history, and her practices to help us to live out our faith. He died in 1875, but even now he's a spiritual father to many.

reflections still relevant

These reflections on this liturgical season are still relevant today as human nature struggles with the same issues. Draws you to prepare for the Lenten season.
