Understanding what we do on Sunday.

Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger demonnstrates his abilities as a clear patient teacher as he teaches about the liturgy and its meaning, in ways that are down to earth and don't require a degree in theology to ...

A magnificent book
This is a magnificent book on a subject rarely addressed: the theological and spiritual significance of Christ in the womb of Mary. Does this sound obscure and boring?

Also, Saward is an excellent writer and there is a ...

Sweet and Blessed Country: The Christian Hope for Heaven
John Saward

In Sweet and Blessed Country John Saward takes an altarpiece from fifteenth-century Provence as his starting-point for a theological exposition of the Christian hope for Heaven. The altarpiece, Enguerrand Quarton's Coronation of the Virgin, was painted for a Carthusian monastery, and so it is monastic theologians, and principally Denys the Carthusian, who guide Saward in his exploration of that 'sweet and blessed country' in which the angels ...
