Product Information

Between the countless duties, deadlines, and distractions that afflict man, finding space to concentrate on the powerful omnipresence of God is a struggle. Still, spending just a few minutes each day in quiet recollection conveys rich rewards, enabling us to reorient our lives to the rhythm of the sacred prayer of the Church. Liturgical piety is indispensable for our sanctification as it draws us into the mystery of our Faith and fosters within us a spirit of charity and divine praise.

For the first time ever in a single volume, the spiritual classic The Light of the World, by the renowned Dom Benedict Baur, O.S.B., offers a year-long cycle of powerful meditations following the traditional Catholic liturgical calendar. In the celebrated lineage of Prosper Gueranger, The Light of the World combines dogmatic precision with spiritual unction to offer a "daily retreat" for the entire Church year, renewing one’s daily spiritual life through the prayers of the classical Roman Rite. Features include:

- Reflections for every Sunday, weekdays, ember days, rogation days, and more
- Guidance for mental prayer and contemplation based on the liturgical orations
- Daily prayers incorporating adoration, thanksgiving, petition, and reparation
- Practical suggestions and resolutions for battling vice and growing in virtue
- Devotions to Christ’s redeeming sacrifice and sanctifying presence as our spiritual center
- Classic exegesis on the Sacred Scriptures and the sacraments
- Colloquies on Our Lady as the model of prayer and guide to the interior life
- Instructions on remote and proximate preparations for daily meditation
- Spirituality based on the Rule of St. Benedict: "Let our mind be in harmony with our voice"
- Methods of prayer from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the tradition of St. Sulpice

Instructive and deeply inspiring, The Light of the World is an ideal companion volume for providing spiritually nourishing yet accessible reflections to extend the graces of the Church’s venerable worship into one’s entire day. Dom Baur offers readers an expansive tour of the treasures of our Faith through the prism of traditional liturgy, to preserve and impart its riches to future generations.

Very good Meditations. I so loved it.

Well Regarded and Well Made

Reflections on The Word from others, I think, reveal that much more of God's will, and inspires to better respond to His Grace, to discern It and then do It.

For us, this collection of reflections does just that. Each one is aligned with the particular scriptural offering for that particular day in the Liturgical cycle. The phrasing, length and content of each one results in good comprehension and retention. We use it daily and look forward to reading each offering as part of our daily prayer response to Our Lord.

Sometimes there may be a temptation to question whether something written decades ago could still be "relevant" today. The secular worldview would have us believe that we know so much better nowadays. This book helps to put that trope to rest. God's Word is eternal, unchanging and perfect. The reflections in this book are timeless.

Each liturgical cycle is preceded by a helpful and informative introduction. There is a helpful index in the back for quickly locating specific items of interest. Physically, this book is solidly bound. It will last. Preferred print size is subjective; for us, a slightly larger font would be helpful.

WE are thankful that we were led to purchasing this book. If you are considering it as well, we pray that you are blessed accordingly.
