The Spirit Of The Liturgy: A Retreat Seminar

Rediscover Pope [Emeritus] Benedict XVI’s Profound and Beautiful insights on restoring the “Great Prayer of the Church”

The Church is once again deliberating new liturgical directives coming from Rome.  In the current climate of clerical confusion, faithful Catholics like us need more than opinions and hearsay to understand these new changes (again!) looming closely on the horizon.

The previous Pope, formerly the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and a liturgical worship expert, is no longer heard from, but many Catholic faithful want to know what he has to say. With this audio CD series, there is a way to learn from him still.

A Faithful Friend
Most Catholics are not aware that Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J. has been a friend and colleague of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI for more than thirty years.  As a doctoral candidate in the early seventies, the founder of Ignatius Press had then-Fr. Joseph Ratzinger for his doctoral director.

Over time, Fessio became part of a close circle of theologians that met with Ratzinger regularly.  During his time as Pope, Benedict XVI continued to gather yearly with Fr. Fessio and other former colleagues to discuss important matters of vital concern to the Catholic Church.

Profound Insights
Now, in the spirit of these yearly seminars with the previous Pope, Fr. Fessio has prepared four fascinating talks to share and explain Benedict XVI’s profound insights on the past, present, and future of the Holy Sacrifice of The Mass. They are as relevant today as when Father gave these important talks!

With warm wit and many personal anecdotes, Father will guide you deep into the context of present-day questions, hopes, and dangers facing the authentic celebration of “the great prayer of the Church.”  Listen in as Father explains why the Catholic Church cannot be allowed to further experience “a breach in Liturgical history.”

Sacred Worship. Necessary Renewal.
As you listen to Benedict XVI’s views on the Spirit of the Liturgy as a “retreat seminar” with Fr. Fessio, you’ll discover what the last Pope really believes about the right way to understand and approach the Church’s central expression of the Faith.

As Father Fessio reveals, Pope Benedict XVI was\is not so much calling for scholarly discussion and research, but rather offering an invaluable aid to the understanding of the Sacred Mysteries.  Order today and find out how you can still answer Benedict XVI’s call for a “necessary renewal of understanding” regarding the sacred Liturgy.

At last, you’ll uncover the Pope Emeritus’ true feelings regarding the many vital aspects of the Church and why the Catholic Church desperately needs a “New Liturgical Movement” to call to life the real heritage of the Second Vatican Council.

What you’ll discover:
 » Why Benedict XVI was convinced that the present crisis in the Church is due to “the disintegration of the Liturgy”
 » Why the “Word and the Will of the Lord” must guide and govern the Church today
 » Why the previous Pope believes that prohibiting the Traditional Latin Mass has caused “a breach in Liturgical history”
 » How Vatican II must be re-read in the light of Tradition" and no longer understood as a “rupture with the past”
 » What is the true meaning of worship from Scripture and Tradition
 » Why the return of the priest facing the altar is essential to true worship
 » Why the Holy Eucharist is much more than a meal
 » What is the real heart and true grandeur of the Sacred Liturgy
 » How the eternal is embodied in the Mass and enters into our present moment
 » And much, much more
