The Lord

by Romano Guardini, Pope Benedict XVI (Introduction)

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ—his life and times, in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ—as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God, away from the prejudice that rationality engenders. Put long-held myths aside and discover the entire truth about God's only begotten Son.

About the author

Romano Guardini was a Catholic priest, author, and academic. He was one of the most important figures in Catholic intellectual life in the 20th century.

Guardini was born in Verona, Italy in 1885. His family moved to Mainz when he was one year old and he lived in Germany for the rest of his life. After studying chemistry in Tübingen for two semesters, and economics in Munich and Berlin for three, he decided to become a priest. After studying Theology in Freiburg im Breisgau and Tübingen, he was ordained in Mainz in 1910. He briefly worked in a pastoral position before returning to Freiburg to work on his doctorate in Theology under Engelbert Krebs. He received his doctorate in 1915 for a dissertation on Bonaventure. He completed his “Habilitation” in Dogmatic Theology at the University of Bonn in 1922, again with a dissertation on Bonaventure. Throughout this period he also worked as a chaplain to the Catholic youth movement.

In 1923 he was appointed to a chair in Philosophy of Religion at the University of Berlin. In the 1935 essay “Der Heiland” (The Saviour) he criticized Nazi mythologizing of the person of Jesus and emphasized the Jewishness of Jesus. The Nazis forced him to resign from his Berlin position in 1939. From 1943 to 1945 he retired to Mooshausen, where his friend Josef Weiger had been parish priest since 1917.

In 1945 Guardini was appointed professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Tübingen and resumed lecturing on the Philosophy of Religion. In 1948, he became professor at the University of Munich, where he remained until retiring for health reasons in 1962.

Guardini died in Munich on 1 October 1968. He was buried in the priests’ cemetery of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Munich. His estate was left to the Catholic Academy in Bavaria that he had co-founded.

"The Lord" by Romano Guardini
A Review by Anthony T. Riggio

I was asked to read this book by my wife who had just completed its reading. I am not one for religious reading but she said it was Lent and that it was something I could do for God. It was a weak moment for me and I agreed.

Looking at the book, it was very intimidating consisting of 629 pages with small type (smaller than the type of this review) and no index. I looked at the book and saw that the introduction was written Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict the XVI). His review was written before he was named Pope and was the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for the Roman Catholic Church. You non Catholic Christians may be tempted to stop here and ignore this review and perhaps miss out on one of the most informative works of the life of Christ. (As an aside, the author was a noted theologian who taught both John Paul II and Benedict XVI)

This book is not a Catholic book but one for all Christians to read if you both love Jesus Christ and have a deep interest in understanding the New Testament from a review of Jesus' perspective as taught by a great theologian.
It is not a book that you can sit down and read in a couple of days and you must allow a couple of weeks because you will need to reflect on the chapters (which are short ) and perhaps have a copy of the New Testament handy to review either before or after reading particular chapters.

I did not find the writing style difficult but it was written by both a great thinker and one who loves the Lord (I use the present tense even though the author is now deceased but I know he is in the presence of God and deeply in love with Jesus).
There were moments of great epiphany for me as I read this book. I am not a "bible thumper" nor a religious zealot but an ordinary man searching for understanding and for answers for my existence and my relationship to God. Consequently there were new understandings of old stuff, and new stuff that I found very revealing. There were several many "Wow" moments as I read this book over the course of four weeks.
Romano Guardini takes the reader on a journey through every message spelled out in the New Testament and gives a learned perspective considering the philosophy and the psychology of its impact through the ages and does it in a way that is neither boring nor intimidating.

After reading this book, I am motivated to go back and read the New Testament anew from beginning to end, with the insight I received from this holy and talented writer.

For my Protestant brothers and sisters, the authors views on the section devoted to "Time and Eternity" regarding the Apocalypse is both fascinating and easily understandable as to why Catholics are not caught up in the current vogue of the current writings surrounding this often misunderstood vision/dream by St. John of Patamos.

I ordered this book for my wife on Amazon but if you have old eyes like me, I recommend the Kindle edition of this book so you can enlarge the type and have a ready available dictionary.

That Jesus’ task “is consummated” must be true, because he says so (John 19:30). Yet what a spectacle of failure! His word rejected, his message misunderstood, his commands ignored. None the less, his appointed task is accomplished, through obedience to the death—that obedience whose purity counterbalances the sins of a world. That Jesus delivered his message is what counts—not the world’s reaction; and once proclaimed, that message can never be silenced, but will knock on men’s hearts to the last day.

How does one adequately review this magnificent book? I'm not really up to the task.

Romano Guardini set out to explore the life and words of Jesus in the gospels. He has a clarity and depth that often turns our view upside down to show the deep meaning of Jesus' words and actions. All this is done with a completely reverent viewpoint that never leaves Catholic teachings but yet shows us something new and startling.

Such then the Firstborn of all creation. In him may be found the prototypes of all forms, beings, values. As white light contains all colors, the Word virtually contains everything distributed over the breadth of the universe, the length of time, the depths of intelligence, the peaks of the ideal. Christ is the creative hand of the Father into which are graven the lines of the world's destinies from the beginning on. Each line or thread is separate, yet together they compose the universal tapestry whose forms go back to him, the Weaver. In his hand lie also the decisions of grace, the impenetrable warp and weft of sacred history with its revelations, its prophecies and warnings, the infinite fabric of that which is to cooperate for the good of those who love God. What a thought!

Bearing all this within him, that same Christ entered into history, loved and died in the narrow confines of a human life.

It is the book that delved into the Beatitudes in such a way that I finally related to them. It opened up the Book of the Revelation in such a way that moved the symbolism into how Christians live and strive to know Christ better. It left me knowing more about Christ, with a sense of excitement and inspiration about the Church and being Christian, and more insight into the eternal.

That's a lot to ask but I now understand why this book was considered personally important into forming both Pope Benedict's and Pope Francis's Catholic foundations. If one wonders how two such different-seeming popes can have one book so much in common (aside from the Bible, of course), then it begins to give a feel for the depth and breadth of this work.

I began this in Lent and am finishing close to the end of the Easter season which is very fitting. Most of the chapters were 4-5 pages and those were rich enough that they fueled my thoughts for the day. Thus it makes a perfect devotional.

NOTE: I can recommend this book to any Christians, not just Catholics.

[Friar Stebin John Capuchin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of many meditations from the different parts of the life of Jesus. This book is written about eternity to eternity. Well written and several important ideas of the life of Jesus. I came to know about Romano Guardini from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI writings on of his writings I read, he is quoting him as an authentic writer and I found out from this book what he was talking about.
This book is well to read like everyday meditation or else read a part of it according to the season and it will help more. I will read it again and again.
Highly Recommended

ESPAÑOL: 88 sermones de Guardini que describen y explican estampas de la vida de Jesús. Algunos de los sermones son muy buenos, y dan mucho qué pensar. Veamos, como ejemplo, esta cita del sermón 4 de la séptima parte:

El espíritu se vuelve impuro por la mentira. No se vuelve impuro... cuando hace el mal, sabiendo y aceptando en su interior que lo que hace es malo, sino cuando deforma los conceptos, y al mal lo llama bien. Tampoco se vuelve impuro... cuando miente, sintiendo aún el reproche de su conciencia, sino cuando renuncia al sentido de la verdad. Y tampoco se vuelve impuro el espíritu por equivocarse, por interpretar mal los acontecimientos, por no entender los conceptos, por juzgar apresuradamente, por usar palabras inadecuadas, o por desfigurar las imágenes, sino cuando expresamente no quiere aceptar la realidad tal como es, cuando no le importa la claridad de las ideas, cuando emite juicios sin sentirse responsable de las normas establecidas, cuando se salta un principio como que el honor de la verdad es su propio honor, cuando tergiversa el sentido de las palabras, que es el sentido mismo de la realidad, o cuando despoja a las imágenes de todo su rigor y su nobleza. Y así podríamos seguir hasta el infinito...

¿Puede el espíritu, en cuanto espíritu, caer enfermo? ¡Claro que sí! Y eso, por su relación con la verdad. No... cuando actúa en contra de la verdad, sino cuando la elimina, como tal, cuando prescinde de ella, o la somete a sus caprichos o, sencillamente, la difumina. Es entonces, cuando el espíritu está, realmente, enfermo.

En mi opinión Guardini, aunque señala más de una vez que es una idea suya y que no hay que tomarla demasiado en serio, repite demasiadas veces cierta idea: que cuando Cristo vino al mundo, si su pueblo le hubiese aceptado, no habría sido necesaria su muerte y el mundo nuevo se habría instaurado en la Tierra. No veo cómo puede defender esto, si el mismo Cristo, hablando con los discípulos camino de Emaús, les dice: "¿No era necesario que el Mesías padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria?" Y comenzando desde Moisés, y siguiendo por todos los profetas, les declaraba lo que decían de él las Escrituras. El propio Guardini da esta cita, pero inmediatamente trata de ajustarla a su idea. Esta idea de Guardini se basa en el capítulo 11 de Isaías, que él cree predice ese mundo nuevo que se abriría con la primera venida del Mesías.

En mi opinión, Isaías se refiere a su segunda venida y no hay contradicción, ni necesidad de buscar interpretaciones raras que al final se reducen a ucronías, porque lo que está diciendo Guardini en realidad es lo siguiente: ¿Qué habría pasado si los Israelitas hubiesen aceptado a Cristo como Mesías en lugar de matarlo? La insistencia de Guardini en esta idea me ha parecido excesiva. Me recuerda lo que le dijo Aslan a Lucy en "El viaje del Navegante del Alba": Niña, ¿no te expliqué una vez que a nadie se le dice "lo que habría pasado"? Como Aslan (o más bien como C.S. Lewis) yo también pienso que los planteamientos contrafactuales no son realmente útiles.

ENGLISH: 88 sermons by Guardini describing and explaining pictures of the life of Jesus. Some of the sermons are very good, and offer a lot to think about. Let's look, for instance, at this quote from chapter 4, part 7:

The spirit becomes impure by lying. It does not become impure... by doing evil, knowing and accepting that what it does is bad, but when it deforms concepts, and calls evil good. Nor does it become impure... when it lies, feeling the reproach of its conscience, but when it renounces the sense of truth. Nor does the spirit become impure for being wrong, for misinterpreting events, for not understanding concepts, for judging hastily, for using inappropriate words, or for disfiguring images, but when it expressly does not want to accept reality as it is, when it does not care about the clarity of ideas, when it makes judgments without feeling responsible for the established norms, when it skips a principle such that the honor of truth is its own honor, when it misrepresents the meaning of words, which is the meaning of reality, or when it strips the images of all their rigor and nobility. And so we could continue to infinity...

Can the spirit, as a spirit, fall ill? Of course! Because of its relation to the truth. Not... when it acts against the truth, but when it eliminates the truth as such, when it disregards the truth, or submits it to its whims or simply blurs it. It is then, when the spirit is really sick.

In my opinion Guardini, although he points out several times that it's his own idea and that it shouldn't be taken too seriously, repeats too many times this idea: When Christ came to the world, if his people had accepted him, his death would not have been necessary and the new world would have been established on Earth. I can't see how he can defend this, if Christ Himself, speaking to the disciples on the road to Emmaüs, says to them: "Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” Then he interpreted for them the things written about himself in all the scriptures, starting with Moses and going through all the Prophets. Guardini himself gives this quote, but tries immediately to adjust it to his idea. Guardini's idea is based on Isaiah chapter 11, which he believes predicts the new world that would open with the first coming of the Messiah.

In my opinion, Isaiah refers to his second coming and there is no contradiction, no need to look for strange interpretations that in the end are just uchronies, because what Guardini is saying is actually the following: What would have happened if the Israelites had accepted Christ as Messiah instead of killing him? I think Guardini's insistence on this point has been excessive. It comes to my mind what Aslan said to Lucy in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", Child, did I not explain to you once before that no one is told what "would have happened"? Like Aslan (or rather like C.S. Lewis) I also think that counterfactual approaches are not really helpful.

This has been on my 'currently-reading' shelf for some time now, only I haven't picked it up. I do plan to get back to it sometime...

Started to read this once before (back in 2009) and didn't get too far. Now because of how much I am benefiting from Preparing Yourself for Mass, I decided to get this out again.

However, as we are going into Holy Week, I'm starting in the middle with topics relevant to Christ's last days. Chapter X "Mysterium Fidei" (Mystery of Faith) was the first one I read although, time permitting I will go even further back and read the chapters on Judas, Judgment, The Foot-washing and the Destruction of Jerusalem.

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still reading this book, which is really a series of meditations on the Gospels. Guardini's meditations are wonderfully illuminating and quite good start points for reflection and contemplation. Dorothy Day mentioned Guardini quite a bit, he was an author from whose work she seemed to draw sustenance, which is one reason I began reading him. The second reason is that our former parish priest recommended a number of spiritual books to us at one time and I found those I knew were favorites of mine and those I didn't know but have since read to be informative, and often good material for reflection and prayer.

I read this quite a while ago. This time I got the audiobook version and am so glad I did. The narration was very good and helped me to use time to go through this book in Advent. Really this book is quite an amazing accomplishment with so many insights, yet he doesn't force his opinion on you.

This is one of those books you don't want to end. Until reading Romano Guardini's Life of Christ, Fulton Sheen's was my favorite~ I'd have to say they are tied for first place on my list. I know I will find myself going back to this one.

[Elizabeth Mcnally · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a beautiful book of meditations on the life of Christ. It's not written in a standard biographical format, but instead, written for the reader to deeply evaluate his/her life in light of Christ and His teachings.
"In the Beatitudes, something of celestial grandeur breaks through. They are no mere formulas of superior ethics, but tidings of sacred and supreme reality's entry into the world. They are the fanfare to that which St Paul refers in the eighth chapter of his Roman epistle when he speaks of the growing glory of the children of God, and what the last chapters of the Apocalypse suggest in their reference to the new heaven and the new earth."

Included in the "Catholicism Explained/Theology" section of Fr. John McCloskey's 100-book Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan.

Guardini obviously knos what he is talking about. For the most part, I had trouble following him, not because he was unorganized but because he was above the level at hich I am thinking. And yet he was not academic. He sounds like a very down-to-Earth person with higher thoughts. Nevertheless, I followed some and puled some gems from it.

Reflexiones sobre Nuestro Señor muy claras y profundas. Muy interesante.

[Ted Leon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very long, sometimes dense, but ultimately satisfying book. In the fashion of Sheen's "Life of Christ", author Guardino tells the story of Christ's life, from Visitation to His final coming. He weaves in the Church's rich theological doctrines and explains their genesis and continuing vitality, always in, through and with Christ.
One unique perspective was the presentation of Christ's public mission as originally intending to establish the New Covenant, in all it's fullness as he proclaimed the Kingdom. He traces the sad rejection of His Messiah-ship and the resulting need for Him to save us through the Victory of the Cross, as an alternative and a result of His rejection by the people.
As I said, a very thorough and detailed book that requires an investment of time. But well worth the effort! I heartily recommend this book!

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've heard it said that knowing about Jesus is not enough. I need to know Jesus. Guardini draws almost exclusively from the Gospels to dig into who Jesus is. But then he surprised me with a section on the Book of Revelation. That section confused me just as the book in the Bible does. Each chapter is great for prayerful reflection. I started this on Ash Wednesday and finished it a few days before Easter. I read about 3 chapters a day and that was too much. It's not a hard read but it gives a lot to reflect on. I'm going to reread the section on the risen Lord during this Easter season. This is definitely a classic.

[Rob · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Lord is a beautifully written and accessible book about Jesus of Nazareth. It steps through his life and times in historical context as well as commenting on the meaning behind his physical and spiritual existence. It counters a solely historical impulse to define Jesus as just an historical figure and explains the context that goes beyond history. An excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about Jesus, whether they are Christian or not.

[Jeffrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must read for any Christian. His insights are amazing and profound. Guardini presents Christ is such a pure way. He tears away all the labels and parameters research and romanticism have placed upon him. Instead he presents him as the Scriptures have presented him: as the incredible Being he is.
