Cela n'est nullement contradictoire, d'ailleurs, avec l'orthodoxie catholique, et tous les théologiens s'accordent pour dépeindre l'action de la grâce en des termes à peu près semblables (il est noter, en revanche, que ces mêmes théologiens se éfient de l conception de la grâce comme illumination et intervention soudaine de Dieu, d´où leur suspicio systématique à l´égard du phénomène de la conversion, qui, de fait, est plus spécifiquement protestant que catholique; voir là-dessus la thèse de Swarts: „Salut par la foi et conversion brusque“).“

  • S. 7: „Among contemporary spiritual writers, Romano Guardini stands with the giants. His name is as well-known in this country, where only a limited number of his books have appeared, as it is to European intellectuals. His predigious gifts have been revealed many times, but never have they been so apparent as they are in The Lord in which one is immediately aware of an outpouring of the fruit of profound experience and rare insight. Strictly speaking, The Lord is not a life of Christ, but rather a meditation on the life of Christ, a probing of the mystery that separates the surface simplicity of the "historical" Jesus from the reality that is the God-man. Monsignor Guardini says explicitly that he does not set out to prove anything, that he is not trying to place the events of Our Lord's life chronologically in time, but only to obey "the Lord's command to proclaim him, his message and his works.“ In order to do this, however, he has of necessity reconstructed the environment and atmosphere into which Christ was born. And he has gone farther. He has delved into the origins of Christ, humanly speaking. He shows the proud house of David with its twisted roots, the kingliness, distorted by sin, gradually declining to the point where the flower of the race is born in a stable. He shows Mary offering her fiat to the angel: Joseph blindly accepting the word of God with regard to his wife. And then the incarnation. From this point history turns in a new direction. The covenant made by God with Moses has been kept. God has entered the world and placed himself in time. Here Monsignor Guardini takes up his proclamation of the Lord himself. We are shown His submission to baptism of penance, the gradual gathering of his disciples, the radical new doctrine exemplified in th Beatudines. We are led through his public life, his unbelievable lievable betrayal, passion and death. And through these events is unfolded the enormity of what was done to God. The murder of God – for this. Guardini points out, is what it was - was not, as can be assumed, a necessity, but the alternative to which Christ turned because of his rejection by those to whom he had been sent. Guardini´s analysis of the rejection of Jesus is masterful. He explains at length the rigidity which had hardened the Old Law. Rather than a way of life which led men to God, it had become a mass of restrictions almost impossible of fulfillment. In one sense it prepared the people for acceptance of the Christian doctrine, but ist guardians, the Pharisees and the Scribes, refused to relinguish it, for it was to them a source of power. Swayed by their masters the people too turned on Jesus as a blasphemer; even his disciples, frightened, hid themselves away. These, his chosen, we are told, have something in common with each believer, for all of them, even Peter and John, had their moment of turning away from the face of Christ, but each day he is betrayed through sin by those who confess him. But Guardini does not conclude with the death of Jesus. The Resurrection follows and he explains with great clarity this central fact that crowns the teaching of the Lord. Further, he develops the theme of Pentecost, and the beginnings of the new Church. And finally, in a burst of glorious prose he concludes his meditations with an analysis of the Book Revelation. These are the bare bones on which Romano Guardini forms the vibrant figure of the Christ. And always it is the Lord walking through these pages. When, for a moment, the author turns aside from Jesus to discuss a historical point, characterize a disciple, or draw a parallel in the life of twentieth-century men, it is only to realize the mystery of Jesus more fully. The close-packed quality of the material - its density - does not lend itself to steady reading, and this in itself is an advantage. For in this book there is so much of value, such possibilities of enlarging one´s vision of Christ, that the hasty reader would find himself missing many of Guardini´s most cogent points. The Lord is truly a masterpiece and it is a measure of Romano Guardini´s spiritual and creative gifts that he has given us this powerful study.“

  • S. 354 f.: „Under the simple and utterly humble title of The Lord, Monsignor Guardini presents the great masterpiece of his life. Ably translated from the original German by Elinor C. Briefs it fulfills the highest expectations of his multitude of American admirers who have come to associate with this distinguished clerical professor of philosophy at Munich University some of the most penetrating writing in the field of contemporary apologetics at the service of the Church in our day. At the outset the author immediately disclaims any attempt at another biography of Christ. It would be presumptous to suppose that there could be written a life of Christ which could approach the simple grandeur of the story told by the four inspired Evangelists. “ A biography of Christ is practical only within the narrowest confines. Neither His personality nor His works are immediately traceable to conditions of the times, for He came to us out of the fullness of time contained in the mystery of God, and it was to this mystery that He returned after He had 'moved among us´.“ Therefore what is here presented is a series of meditations which are not claimed to be complete, nor in any logical or chronological sequence. Rather they are spiritual commentaries of some four years of Sunday services "undertaken with the sole purpose of obeying as well as possible the Lord's command to proclaim Him, His message and His works." Approximately a dozen such meditations are given to each of the seven parts concerned with as many central notions the beginnings, message and promise, decision, on the road to Jerusalem, the last days, Resurrection and Transfiguration, and time and eternity. Always, on every one of the age-old subjects, there is certain newness of insight and yet always mystery: Omnia exeunt in mysterium. Difficulties, questions, objections, uneasy reactions are constantly faced, indeed, encouraged. What think you of Christ, whose Son is He? That is the transcendently important question every man must face today with the same insistence with which Christ Himself originally presented it two thousand years ago. On the right answer to that question the fate of our civilization depends. As a conclusion to his powerfully penetrating inquiry Monsignor Guardini observes: „There is only one true Jesus Christ: the God-man of full uncrippled Christian belief. And faith is as essential to our understanding of Him as the eye is to color or the ear to sound. From the start Jesus demanded of all would-be followers a clear Yes! or No! to the demands of faith, not a little of each. ... Understanding of Christ requires a complete conversion, not only of the will and the deed, but also of the mind. One must cease to judge the Lord from the worldly point of view and learn to accept His own measure of the genuine and the possible; to judge the world with His eyes. This revolution is difficult to accept and still more difficult to realize, and the more openly the world contradicts Christ's teaching, the more earnestly it defines those who accept it as fools, the more difficult that acceptance, realization. Nevertheless, to the degree that the intellect honestly attempts this right-about-face, the reality known as Jesus Christ will surrender itself. From this central reality, the doors of all other reality will swing open and it will be lifted to the hope of the new creation.“ When we carefully consider all the elements which would of necessity be required in the very notion of the Incarnation, we must honestly conclude that no other attitude than that outlined above by Monsignor Guardini would be reasonable. His whole great masterpiece is a magnificent demonstration of this very position. To read and re-read his beautiful meditations with which it is possible for the human mind to occupy itself is an unforgettable experience.“

  • S. 52: „This is not a scientific book; it does not call for a scientific review. Because the publishers have somewhat irresponsibly advertised it as "the most important single book yet published on the life and teachings of Christ," it is necessary to restore the book to focus before a fair review is possible. Msgr. Guardini himself describes what he has attempted: " The meditations that follow make no claim to completeness. They do not attempt to recount Jesus ' life in any chronological order or logical sequence; rather they select from it this or that teaching, event, trait, miracle for thought, as it happens to warm to life. This book is no scientific documentation of history or theology. Its chapters are the spiritual commentaries of some four years of Sunday services undertaken with the sole purpose of obeying as well as possible the Lord's command to proclaim Him, His message and works." Judging the book for what it is, a book of meditations, it was well worth translating and it was translated well. A book of meditations must be theologically reliable, and should be historically or factually reliable. It should also stimulate thought. Msgr. Guardini is a good theologian. He has written a number of solid and often penetrating books on subjects closely allied to theology. In this book he examines the gospels and ponders them with the mentality of a man at home with theology, and at the same time of a man at home with men. This book could only have been written by an elderly man for, as Msgr . Guardini himself says, "Youth does not comprehend the essence of humanity, whose ultimate crowning is old age: the fulfillment of all perseverance, season in which the heights and depths of human existence have been measured and all things brought to maturity." Lagrange, Prat, Lebreton and other learned exegetes have clarified for us the facts of the life of Christ. St. Thomas and learned Thomistic theologians after hime have focused clarified and defended the mystery that is Christ. Guardini is in competition with neither group. He has made good use of both to give us, not objective truth, but subjective impressions of objective truth. Because he has not departed from the truth as far as it can be known and has always remained in direct touch with objectivity, because also his mind has been long trained in wholesome habits of thought, his subjective reflections are able successfully to stimulate like reflections in the reader. Precisely because Christ is a mystery, nothing can be said about Him and endless things can be said about Him. In the beginning we can say nothing about Him because we know nothing about Him. For a long time we can say only foolish things, but if we study well and pray well the time may come when we shall discover that we have something of value to add to the endless collection of valuable and valid thoughts about Him Who, being divine, is essentially ineffable. Msgr. Guardini has contributed to the endless stream and his contribution manifests deep insight into the life and words of the Master which is expressed with fine sentiment but without sentimentality. The note which perhaps may be said to dominate these meditations is a profound awareness of the mission of Christ. Never does the author allow his readers to forget that Christ came to do the will of the Father, to lead men to the Father, to interpret the Father to men. Those who would distort theology by making it Christocentric will find no comfort in Guardini´s book to which what he says of the Apocalypse can be applied: „God dominates every move … but indirectly; He whom He sent forth, Christ, is the immediate impelling force." The book is made up of eighty-six chapters divided into seven sections. The sections and chapters roughly follow the chronology of Christ's life. The final part consists of meditations on the Apocalypse which will surely open the Book of Revelation for the first time to many readers. The design and printing are very effective. The price is not excessive to anyone aware of the high costs of book production. It is, however, unfortunate that no index was added. When an index is omitted from a non-fiction book it seems an admission by the publisher that the book is worth no more than a cursory reading. And that certainly is not true of this book.“

The author, now a domestic or House Chaplain to the Pope, kept the attention of a very mixed audience during the bombing of Berlin with the meditations published in English as „The Faith and Modern Man.“ His translator, though born in Hawaii, was at that time the wife of a German diplomat; a convert to the Catholic and Christian Faith who (thanks be to God) escaped the holocaust, and having studied under both Guardini and Karl Adam, is long since in this country. She translates magnificently. Monsignor Guardini , like Archbishop Temple in his devotional commentary on St. John, is not greatly concerned . with Biblical criticism, nor on on the other hand with conventional Thomist theology. This is a series of meditations, written out of a profound experience of life and of the living Jesus; it transports us to the first century and at the same time transfixes us in our own century. …“

  • S. 276 f.: „In his foreword Guardini says that this book is 'only an outline', not 'an exhaustive survey'. And if we bear this in mind while reading the book we shall not be disappointed in it but, rather, richly rewarded. For taken as a meditation on death and the Church's teaching thereon the book is really excellent. It is stimulating and, in one sense, original. With the early part the reader may, perhaps, be somewhat disappointed. So often we seem to be moving into a discussion really worthwhile and original only for that particular line of thought to be suddenly abandoned and a new argument begun. But this is only a first impression and a temporary one. As we read further we can see more clearly that Guardini is not trying to say something new on the subject but rather to meditate on all that the Church has already said herself. And realizing this we can fully appreciate what a good job he has made of it. Perhaps because of this the second part of the book on the Resurrection, Judgement and Eternity is more convincing than the first. Here we have genuine spiritual reading at its most stimulating and it also helps to straighten out some rather strange, yet popular, modern views on the subject. There are, however, one or two occasions when some remarks of the author's may need clarifying. On p. 35 he says: '( God's ) justice is not exercised upon principles, but upon the life of human beings'. Most of us immediately realize what he means but he may be misleading to some. The bald statement that God's justice is not exercised upon principles cannot surely be true. The one true Christian principle - and therefore God's principle - is the principle of love. And that should perhaps have been noted. Again when discussing the actual fact of death itself something more might well have been said of the value of a complete acceptance of death as coming from God. A short elaboration of the fact that death being the penalty for sin, a death fully accepted in that spirit must help to pay a great deal of all that we owe for our sins, would have helped. But these are mild criticisms and for all else there is no criticism but praise. 'Redemption', says Guardini, 'is not a work of enthusiasm. It is a work of love, and of love that is truth.' And how especially that needs saying and re-saying today when so much confused thought is poured out upon this subject! We can, too, be particularly grateful to Guardini for the way in which he distinguishes between historical man and natural man. It is as historical beings that we shall be judged. 'To think of the process of life in terms of chemistry ... is plain mental laziness' (p. 58). There again is something that needed saying. We can't discuss life and death, judgement and resurrection simply in biological terms. We can only recognize revealed truth by approaching it on its own terms. But above all what is important to remember on this subject is that it 'is not ideas and laws that matter, but reality'. And that has been Guardini's guiding principle throughout this book. He has put before us historical man faced with the historical fact of death, and has meditated on the Church's teaching thereon in that light the only real light in which to do so. Short though it is, much more could have been said about this book but the above should suffice to give the reader some idea of what to expect. Taken as a meditation on 'the last things' it is a book which makes comforting reading to-day when so many strange things are taught and discussed concerning the future of this world as we know it. For us Christians these things need be no cause of worry. For we have been redeemed and our death and the last judgement are the fulfilment of that redemption.“

  • S. 69 f.: „Any work by Monsignor Romano Guardini is an event. The Last Things, Concerning Death, Purification after Death, Resurrection, Judgment, and Eternity, is no exception. Again he brings to bear upon this most important theme his rich scholarship in the fields of philosophy, theology, scripture, psychology, and history. As always he addresses himself to the perplexed contemporary mind with which he is so remarkably en rapport. Certainly that mind is much preoccupied with the multitude of threats against the very existence of our modern civilization as we know it, what with the terrifying progress in potentialities for destruction opened up by the parallel advance in all the sciences, social as well as physical and natural. Actually, of course, no man can entirely escape the influence of his "death" on his life as a whole, however much he finds it convenient to thrust that unpleasant reality into the lower depths of his unconscious. As always, Monsignor Guardini brings a remarkable freshness of view to old themes. Particularly, he appeals to the common sense reasonableness of the Church's doctrine. The divine teaching is the only obvious and inevitable position, given the nature of man and the world in which he works out his destiny. Most of all this is a man very much possessed of an earthly body. He is not an angel. A most important aspect of the Resurrection is its guarantee of the immortality of the human body as well as the soul. The whole human person is victor over death. Likewise in the Eucharist the body is not forgotten. „Because in man it is the living whole that matters, not the soul. The point of decision is the physical act of “eating” and “drinking" in contrast to any attempts at the vaporizing of this solid reality. The fruit of this sacred „eating“ and „drinking“ is the resurrection on the last day. Truly a „hard“ saying for it involves the end and purpose of the Christian life. The doctrine of the Eucharist is guaranteed by the doctrine of the resurrection.“ With the current interest in the philosophy of history, occasioned by the completion of Arnold Toynbee's monumental Study of History, the view of Guardini on the meaning of history in relation to the Last Judgment will have particular significance. "History's purport is to make God known. ... Three facts (then) mark the character of history: that it is obscure, that men are free to do wrong, and that evil may at times prevail over good. History can not, therefore, be its own fulfillment." It looks of its very nature to a Last Judgment. All men long for justice even though it means a calling out for what is against himself. It would be difficult to include within the compass of a small volume more profound, penetrating thought on a theme of surpassing importance than is presented by these pages from the pen of one of the Church's ablest apologists writing today. The translation excellently preserves the spirit of the original.“

  • S. 142: „Despite the similarity of title these two books have little in common. Guardini offers the reader a series of short meditations on death, purification after death, resurrection, judgment and eternity. These meditations put Catholic teaching on the last things into a form easily understood by the layman. Their chief value is their clarifying and systematizing the knowledge of these things that the average Catholic already possesses. The only item this reviewer thinks many Catholics do not understand at least in a general way is the resurrection of the whole man rather than just the soul. Guardini's treatment of the resurrection of the body and his handling of the mystery of the individual's union with God in eternity are especially good.“

  • S. 201: „Die Schrift enthält das Wort Gottes, das die Kirche verkündet, und die Liturgie ist die beste Auslegung des theoretischen Glaubensdenkens, das ohne die gelebte Frömmigkeit in einem öden begrifflichen Intellektualismus, in lebensfremden Gedankendichtungen verdunsten würde, während anderseits auch die gelebte Frömmigkeit selbst ohne die Zucht der liturgischen Form von einem „oberflächlichen Sentimentalismus“ überwuchert würde.[1 Siehe die Adresse von Msgr. Montini an den liturgischen Kongreß von Vicenza, Juli 1954 [Osservatore Romano vom 12.7.1954]. Über die ernste Verantwortung, das Bild Marias aus der Offenbarung zu gewinnen und nichts hinzuzudichten vergleiche Romano Guardini, „Die Mutter des Herrn“ [Werkbund-Verlag, Würzburg 1955].“
