- S. 118: „Auf die Gefahr hin, einen Bumerang zu werfen, der zurückkehrend mich selbst trifft, möchte ich jetzt noch ein Wort über die Volksfrömmigkeit sagen. Gewiß kann man die katholische Volksfrömmigkeit nicht mit der römisch-katholischen Kirche gleichsetzen. Man kann sich aber auch nicht von ihr lösen. Das scheint mir das eigentliche Problem zu sein. Denn das ist die Frage, wie weit die amtliche Kirche die Volksfrömmigkeit widerspruchslos hinnimmt oder gar stützt. Soweit nämlich das geschieht, übernimmt die amtliche Kirche die Verantwortung für die Verirrungen der Volksfrömmigkeit. Leider nicht nur Guardini, auch die Kölner beim Fasching sind – sit venia verbo – in ihrer Art eine Visitenkarte der Kirche.“

- S. ??? (321): „Il y a un passage de R. GUARDINI dans le Seigneur169 magnifiquement cette pensée. Méditant sur le chapitre XVII de qui exprime saint MATHIEU dans lequel le Christ annonce sa Passion, il va jusqu'à écrire: « Dieu sait-il que le Messie mourra? Assurément, de toute éterité. Et cepedant cela ne evrait pas arriver … Veut-il la mort de Jésus? Assurément, de toute éternité. Si les hommes se ferment, son amour devra prendre ce chemin. Mais ils ne devraient pas se fermer… Nous voyons bien que notre raison est ici devant un mur. L´éternelle présence divine et notre liberté; ce qui ne devait pas arriver quand même; la orme que devait prendre l´oeuvre de la Rédemption et celle qu´elle a prise de fait, tout cela pour ous est inextricablement et mytérieusement lié. Ce qui arrive est à la fois liberté et nécessité, don de Dieu et fruit de la responsabilité humaine.“ Et GUARDINI ajoute ceci, qui nous sert de guide: „Réfléchir sur ces choses n´a un sens que si cette réflexion, sans nous faire renoncer à la vérité, nous amène au point où tout se réduit à l´adoration silecieuse. Être chrétien, c´est adorer de la sorte. L´homme sera chrétien dans la mesure où il se mettra devant tout ce grand mystère, y appliquera sa foi ourrie de la parole de Dieu et essaiera de le comprendre, de le vouloir et de le vivre.““

- S. 22: „"Adoration is the safeguard of our mental health, of our inmost intellectual soundness.“ The words were written by Romano Guardini in a recent book. And later he continues: „A man´s mind falls ill when he relinquishes his hold on truth – not by lying, though he lie often, for in that case the injury to the spirit can be repaired by contrition and by the renewal of good will - but by an inward revolt from the truth. True illness of the mind and spirit sets in when a man no uses it as a means to his own ends, when, in the depths of his soul, truth ceases to be to him primary, the most important concern. ..." What has this to do with adoration? In fact everything, for the man who worships God will never risk losing his balance entirely. Whoever adores God in his heart and mind and also, when the moment arises, in actual practice, is being truly protected. He may make mistakes, he may be deeply bewildered and shaken, but in the last analysis the order and direction of his life are secure" (The Faith and Modern Man, Guardini, pp. 9-10.) Obviously it is not suggested that the primary purpose of adoration is the mental health of the creature. Nevertheless the adoring spirit of which Guardini speaks, and which the Blessed Mother so beautifully personifies, connotes the habitual possession of basic truths and attitudes without which mental health is impossible.“

- S. 13: „Che cos´è il cristianesimo? Una irruzione di Dio nella storia. Che cosa sonso le altre religione? Una preparazione, ormai fossilizzata, dato che, una volta respinto il cristianesimo, esse respinsero anche la storia trasformandosi non solo, come si suol dire, in realtà degenerate, ma financo inattuali. La loro validità, da un lato, come gradini nel tempo verso il momeno della irruzione di Dio nella storia, e dall´altro la loro tragica inattualità, costituiscono ciò che Romano Guardini chiama „il dramma die precursori“. Budda, secondo Guardini, è stato un gran precursore del Vangelo e ciononostante sarà il suo maggiore avversario.“

We have gained immensely in our knowledge about things; what we have lost to a great extent is direct, intuitive knowledge of things and communion with them: as Guardini puts it, we have lost our „living contact with real things“; we „no longer perceive the message of things“; we see them now only „in the light of brute matter, as objects of pursuit and posession, of commerce or research.““

- S. 298 f.: „Perhaps the season will serve as excuse for making mention (overdue) of another volume of exceptional merit: Romano Guardini´s The Lord. Expertly translated by Elinor Castendyk Briefs, the book is published by Henry Regnery Co., Chicago (550pp.; cloth, $ 6.50). A reproduction of Rouault's painting of Christ mocked by the soldiers, for the jacket, sets the tone, and arouses expectations which the text brilliantly fulfills . A friend of ours has a pet theory that, among modern Catholic authors, Guardini is one of the few who never disappoints: there is always substantial thought, presented from an approach that makes it challenging. Certainly this book falls in that category. Only a few of his other works have been translated into English so far, but those few include the still basic Spirit of the Liturgy of more than twenty years ago. It is not easy to translate Guardini. His sensitivity to the finest nuances of spiritual values combined with a highly C admired literary style presents problems. But perhaps the deserved good press which The Lord is getting will help persuade publishers to give us more of his books in English. The Lord is typically Guardini: the Guardini who shows the influence of Max Scheler by his power of psychological penetration in terms of the contemporary mind. The standard "lives of Christ,“ content to list chronological data, here find their valuable complement. The essays originated as Sunday homilies. We are fortunate to be able to join the preacher's audience. But, however gladly we recognize our debt to the American publishers, we do wish they had taken the pains to add a topic and Scripture index: without them the book loses at least half its potential of usefulness.“

- S. 4: „The Christian message is a joyous one even when treating of death, justification after death, the Last Judgement and eternal life. In the hands of Father Guardini has the "last things" take on so particular a glow, however, that one can more than hope that the reading of this book will bring about the mental conversion which its author states is needed for modern man believe in revelation which is "truth beyond reason but still truth.“ With the faith in revelation a new light is giver to existence and man is oriented to his Creator in truth and love. Since this book is grounded in revelation, from it emerges man of the body as well of the spirit, man who has separated himself from his Creator and who must, therefore, suffer from that loss but man who is so loved by God that He could not leave His creatures desolate for eternity but brought him once man, through the incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ, the message of eternal hope. Death is not a part of man´s nature but the result of an act. Man was created in a state of freedom but also of probation, free "to throw out the span of his life to God" but he did not stand the test, choosing in Adam, the progenitor of the race, to be as God and thereby breaking the link from God to man and being condemed to the sentence of sin and death. „The Last Things“ does not minimize the pain, loneliness and misery of the death of man; neither does it ignore the importance of Purgatory from which the soul through the grace of effectual repentance emerges justified and absolved. We are reminded that Christ too died and died as no other man died since „death is more truly death as the life it puts an end to is more truly life." But the Christian message is one of hope and its hope lies in the resurrection of Christ. Christ having risen, man too will rise and this resurrection will be not of the spirit alone but of man in reality with all his human dignity, actions and destinies. We do not know what the body will be like in eternity, but we have some small inkling of the work of grace on earth when we look upon a man animated by a mind and heart and spirit overflowing with the love of Christ and his fellow men in Christ. Man has the freedom of choosing to rise to his eternal salvation or perdition and in accordance with his choice his body will be blessed or accursed. This message of Christianity which had lost its vitality since the Middle Age but which is being revived in our time may, in the opinion of Father Guardini, relieve the tension brought about by the cleavage between matter and intellect. When the salvation of man is centered upon the whole man, when all man´s actions are governed by the heart – that union of blood and spirit which characterizes man - and when man's faith and hope in the resurrection of body and soul in Christ, the decision for or against God becomes more vital and the love of one´s fellow men in God more meaningful. One regrets the reading this revised edition of Father Guardini´s book that he did not find it necessary to amplify some of its sections, particulary that on Purgatory. However, it is a rarity in our time to find a book which leaves the reader wanting.“

- S. 237: „BOTH Canon Raven, in this second series of his Gifford Lectures, and Fr. Guardini set themselves to write of the Christian faith in a manner that is comprehensible to contemporaries, in a manner, therefore, that is within the experience or at least the intellectual imagination of contemporaries. Their endeavour springs from both charity and humility, and since few are the theologians who communicate with their fellow men it is an endeavour that merits the greatest respect. But of course for Guardini the end of the journey is the point from which he started; […] Guardini's book is a collection of twelve essays that were written during the last World War for bewildered German Christians, especially the young. They were written from the heart of contemporary experience, a re - thinking of Christian doctrine but in no sense a reinterpretation. They are fresh and vivid.“

- S. 121 f.: This is an excellent translation of a series of twelve essays by the distinguished German educator and liturgist, Monsignor Romano Guardini, written during World War II when Christian life was deeply threatened by hostile doctrine. In order to elude, at least for a time, the tightening thought control, a group of Christian writers decided to publish booklets , each complete in itself, on a theme of special importance to contemporary man for distribution mainly as letter enclosures. By this means they escaped attention and carried on for some time until paper quota was suppressed. The twelve essays under the above title were Monsignor Guardini's contribution to the general project entitled ,Christliche Besinnung´. They all grew out of urgent questions asked by people in spiritual stress and actual physical threat. They were first delivered in a Berlin church threatened from without by air raid and from within by the ever present threat of secret police. Monsignor Guardini hopes „that some of the urgency of that time has been imparted to these brief statements of some of the fundamental truths of our faith.“ We believe that his hope have been magnificently realized. His brief statements and clarifications are on such their subjects as adoration, God's patience, God's dominion and man's freedom, the Lordship of Christ, Providence, revelation as history, faith as of overcoming and faith in various stages of life, dogma, the saints, the Adversary, i. e. the Devil, and purgatory. To each he brings not only the expected theological and biblical approach but also such profound metaphysical and psychological insight as to make these discussions the most proper object of the philosopher's interest. Indeed we have here a philosophy of faith on subjects of constant challenge to the man of faith in the contemporary world written by a religious leader who is in closest contact with the German Catholic laymen as well as clerical. Old subjects seem like new ones under the penetrating glance of this distinguished mind. We may be permitted a brief quotation: "A great and blessed mystery is adoration. In it man fulfills his ultimate obligation to God and at the same time safeguards his own soundness for it is the instrument of truth. ... True illness of mind and spirit sets in when a man no longer cherishes truth but despises it; when he uses it as a means to his own end; when in the depth of his soul truth ceases to be to him the primary, the most important concern. He has lost the inner certainty of direction. He lacks answer to those final questions - why? to what purpose? and his whole being is affected." There indeed is a new interpretation and understanding of very old subjects for the confused and the troubled in conscience as well as the outright sceptic.“

- S. 151: „ROMANO GUARDINI, born of Italian parents in Germany, is a writer who combines the tendency of the German to be searching and methodical with the clarity of the Latin. In German, as well as in this excellent translation, one is always amazed at Guardini's sure-footed leadership through the thorniest and rockiest problems of the supernatural and the natural. With a sure grasp and a steady hand, in deceptively simple language, Guardini elimi nates all confusing verbiage and approaches his problem steadily and engagingly. Guardini is not only a consummate theologian, but a first rate psychologist, and is well informed in the fields of history, literature, science, and sociology. No one - with perhaps the exception of Jacques Maritain - has such a hold on the problems uppermost in the mind of modern man. His description of the different ages of man, the resulting crises of the faith, and their causes is a classic. No one has ever given a more Biblical explanation of the Christian meaning of Providence. Among Catholics Guardini - and his growing school - holds a unique position in his complete disregard of post-Tridentine apologetics, in his refusal to be sectarian, his lack of scholastic pretense and in his return to the person of our Lord. You always know that he has studied St. Thomas and patristic theology and that he is familiar with the mystics of old as well as of our own day, but there is no appeal to them, no quoting of dusted-off authorities, no quarreling or “opinionating." Guardini seems to lead you back to the prime source of Revelation with reason endowed by grace. His critics have often reproached him for being interested only in marginal issues and less in God than in the phenomenon of religion and have even seen in him a refined and irenic agnostic. How wrong they were! This book, like the forthcoming English translation of his magnum opus, shows a Catholicity that is so honest, so orthodox, so moderate, so profound that I would not hesitate to call him the bringer of a twentieth century "devotio moderna.” We should have more of Guardini. His quiet voice, like those of Otto Karrer, Lortz, Rahner, should be heard in America.“

- S. 17: „Romano Guardini[* Guardini , R. , The Faith and Modern Man. Burn Oates, 1953] writes: "There is a kind of scepticism possible only to the old - the cynicism of hopelessness which affects their faith. It is the attitude in which inevitability has conquered. In it, nothingness rules. Death of body and heart has assumed spiritual forms.“
