Benedikt BaurRezensionen

A help for those seeking to follow our Lord to obtain the silence of the soul necessary to hear and understand the will of God. The author, a German Benedictine, presents the full panorama of a Christian Life. The subjects include our Lords call to everyone to a life of perfection, a constant spiritual struggle through the practice of human and supernatural virtues, and the frequent reception of the sacraments.

Como da a entender el título, el autor se propone fomentar la vida de oración: la intimidad con Dios. Trata, con piedad y doctrina, sobre el fin del hombre, los medios para lograrlo y los obstáculos: el pecado, las tentaciones, etc. Útil para tener una visión de conjunto de la vida interior y de la ascética. Práctico y asequible en el lenguaje. De comprobada utilidad para todos.

Breve tratado doctrinal y ascético, en el que se comentan las enseñanzas de la encíclica Mystici Corporis, del Papa Pío XII, sobre el sacramento de la Penitencia. Mueve al examen de conciencia y a valorar mucho la confesión. Básico y muy útil para todos, también para personas con experiencia en la vida interior.

Introduce en el sentido de la liturgia, a través de un análisis del misal y del breviario. Estilo sobrio. Fomenta los afectos y los propósitos. Para personas formadas.

This book has been a great help to me in the way of understanding and participating more maximally in the sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). It has also made me feel more at ease in using the Confessional. This book is sound and well grounded in the teachings of the Church. The author urges the reader to see penance as a most personal Sacrament. Within it there is a personal exchange with God through which greater degrees of perfection are possible. This is especially so when the soul is docile to God in other ways such as loving one's neighbor and practicing the virtues. The author assumes that the reader is interested in going beyond the resolution of the more serious sins called Mortal sins which interfere with the reception of God's grace. Therefore the book looks more closely at the benefit of confessing the less serious venial sins. By volunteering to do so the penitent may be able to see over time personal, flaws that are the source for all sin.
