Synopsis "Seeking God's Face: Meditations for the Church Year (in English)"

"Seek out the Lord and his might; constantly seek his face." This concise admonition from the Book of Psalms captures the impetus of Seeking God's Face. In these meditations, Joseph Ratzinger reflects upon the major feasts and the Sundays of the year, inspired by Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the lives of the saints. The seasons of Advent and Christmas receive particular attention, with an address on the mystery of suffering, a sermon on the "Word Made Flesh," and a consideration of the contribution of St. Francis of Assisi to Christmas celebrations, which join "The Lesson of the Christmas Donkey" by Pope John Paul I in honoring the birth of Jesus Christ, in whom we encounter the very face of God.Originally published in English in 1982, Seeking God's Face shines with a spirit of joyful wisdom and serves as a source for much fruitful meditation on the central mysteries of the Catholic faith as they are celebrated over the course of the Church calendar.
