          •  How the Mysteries of Jesus are now our mysteries — springs of living
              water we are meant to drink from.

          •  How Christ’s wisdom, His holiness, His strength, are now our wisdom,
              our holiness, our strength.

          •  How to acquire special graces during each liturgical season.

     This new edition of Christ in His Mysteries features a Foreword by Fr. Benedict Groeschel (a long-time admirer of Blessed Columba Marmion), and an Introduction by Aidan Nichols, OP.

     It also features a vibrant new translation that captures all of Marmion’s depth and spiritual power while remaining meticulously faithful to the French-language original. Aidan Nichols praises translator Alan Bancroft’s work as “felicitous... a supremely natural and fluent translation.”

The works of Marmion are “outstanding in the accuracy of their doctrine, the clarity of their style, and the depth and richness of their thought.”
– Pope Pius XII

“He revealed the soul of the liturgy to us, by which I mean all those elements of doctrine and of life which it holds in reserve within the visible envelope of its rites and symbols: he is the theologian of the liturgy.”
– Dom Lambert Beauduin

“Always, at each of his pages, one is bathed in a spiritual atmosphere — an atmosphere of prayer. Hence also light, security and peace.”
– Dom Raymond Thibaut

“Luminous, profound and elevating doctrine... The very breath of life seems to come from his pages because all the truths he expounds have first been lived in his own soul.”
– Abp. Guerry of Cambrai

“Dom Marmion makes you touch God.”
– Cardinal Mercier

In order to highlight the dimensions of his argument, Heim carefully and critically draws on the groundbreaking work of French theorist and biblical scholar René Girard. Yet Heim goes beyond Girard to develop a comprehensive theology of the atonement and the cross through his fresh readings of well-known biblical passages and his exploration of the place of the victim.
