Unlock the Lost Riches of Septuagesima: Your Definitive Guide to the Pre-Lenten Season
While the world indulges in its final revelries before Ash Wednesday, the traditional Catholic Church enters a period of solemn preparation. But what is the meaning of this mysterious pre-Lenten season? Why is the joyful Alleleuia silenced and why do the vestments turn to purple?
There is no greater guide to this sacred time than the venerable Abbot, Dom Prosper Guéranger. In this essential volume of his masterwork, The Liturgical Year, Dom Guéranger unveils the profound spiritual meaning behind Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima, showing them to be a crucial gateway to a holy and fruitful Lent.
Inside this volume, you will discover:
- The Deep Mystery of Septuagesima: Understand why the Church calls us to meditate on our status as spiritual exiles in Babylon, and how this prepares our hearts to long for the Jerusalem of Easter.
- A Journey Through Salvation History: Follow the Abbot's masterful guidance through the story of Adam's Fall, the chastisement of the Deluge, and the hopeful calling of Abraham, our father in the Faith.
- The Spiritual Arms for Lent: Learn the ancient wisdom of the Church and arm your soul for the spiritual combat of the Great Fast, turning penance from a burden into a sanctifying joy.
- Rich Patristic and Liturgical Commentary: Benefit from Dom Guéranger's immense scholarship as he draws upon the wisdom of the Church Fathers and the sacred rites to illuminate every lesson.
A Superior Reading Experience - The Scriptorium Theophilii Reader's Edition:
This is not another blurry, error-filled scan. This edition has been thoughtfully designed for the modern traditional Catholic reader.
- Professionally Re-typeset: Enjoy a clean, beautiful layout with legible text that honors the dignity of this spiritual treasure.
- Focused and Streamlined: To create a more accessible and readable volume, the lengthy and repetitive commentary on the Ordinary of the Mass (repeated in all 15 original volumes) has been removed. The result is a book that is purely focused on the Season of Septuagesima, making it lighter, more portable, and easier to navigate.
- Companion Guide Coming Soon: The complete commentary on the Ordinary of the Mass will be published separately as a stand-alone companion guide-a single, comprehensive resource for use throughout the entire liturgical year.
Perfect for:
- Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass.
- Homeschooling families looking for solid liturgical curriculum.
- Seminarians, priests, and religious seeking to deepen their understanding of the Roman Rite.
- Any soul desiring to escape modern distractions and enter fully into the Church's traditional seasons.
Prepare your soul for a holy Lent. Scroll up and add this timeless classic to your library today.
