Each year, the Church celebrates the Mysteries of Christ's birth, life, death and Resurrection. These are the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, and Easter - and each is the source of a particular grace, each has its own special gift for us. Christ in His Mysteries is Blessed Columba Marmion's great meditation on the treasure-house of grace Christ offers to us in the Church's liturgical year. In the clear inspiring language that made him a favourite of Popes and lay faithful alike he explains 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. "Writings of deep insight and great value ... An authentic treasury of spiritual truth" Pope John Paul II "The works of Marmion are outstanding in the ... depth and richness of their thought." Pope Pius XII Born in Ireland, Blessed Columba Marmion served for several years as a priest in Dublin before finding a vocation to the monastery. He eventually became Abbot of Maredsous Abbey, Belgium. One of the foremost spiritual masters of the 20th century, his books were translated into eleven languages and sold some 1.5 million copies. Alan Bancroft's new translation is meticulously faithful to the French original.

I have read that this man may some day be considered a Doctor of the Church (from Wikipedia: ...a major theme of his work is the doctrine of divine adoption in Christ. Again, this idea was not original with Marmion; it is clearly set forth in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of St. Paul. But although the doctrine had been addressed by many spiritual writers before him, "it would be difficult to find another who had given the mystery such preeminence, making it, as he does, the beginning and the end of the spiritual life. And with Dom Marmion it is not so much a theory or a system, as a living truth that acts directly on the soul." Some believe the Catholic Church will one day formally declare Marmion the Doctor of Divine Adoption"). I believe it will happen. Buy this book, and any others he has written. Pray them and you will not be disappointed. :) God Bless youProduct details

Christ in His Mysteries Columba Marmion|Alan Bancroft 9780852447352 Books Reviews
The late Pope John Paul II once described the Catechism of the Catholic Church Second Edition as a sure norm for teaching the Faith. One could very easily borrow His Holiness' idea and suggest that Christ in His Mysteries is a sure norm for deepening your relationship with the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Our Lord Jesus of Nazareth. Blessed Columba Marmion's meditations in this book are sublime guideposts on the way to spiritual renewal, a renewal that will enlighten your soul & bring you ever closer to Almighty God.
A short while ago I felt myself blessed to discover Blessed Marmion's Christ, the Life of the Soul and have since considered that amazing volume a trusted friend on my life-long spiritual journey. I am truly amazed & grateful that I have been able to find another such friend in Christ in His Mysteries. This book is also a sacred classic of the highest order that I will ceaselessly recommend to all my firends & loved-ones. I will also recommend this book to all who wish to advance in their love & knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ & his Blessed Spouse, Holy Mother Church.
Today I saw this at the NRO Corner which had some suggested books by various people associated with them. This one was by Fr. George Rutler.
I would recommend Christ in His Mysteries by Blessed Columba Marmion.
Marmion, an Irishman who became Abbot of Maredsous Abbey in Belgium, and a leading spiritual writer of the twentieth century, approached the Resurrection through the liturgy, as the Church's living and ongoing experience of Christ alive and at work in the world.
I had actually just completed reading this book last night and can certainly second his recommendation. I had previously read two other books from Blessed Marmion's and so when I received "Christ in His Mysteries " I was prepared for reading another great books from this spiritual master. This is the second book of a trilogy that started with "Christ, the Life of the Soul" and I would guess that the third one is also being translated from the original French.
Once again the translator has done some excellent work by bringing Blessed Marmion's writing to us with a theological accuracy. There are footnotes throughout to explain theological fine points. The book also contains an introduction by both Fr. Groeschel and Fr. Aidan Nichols. We are given the theology of Christ with a Pauline perspective that is simply amazing in it spiritual and theological depth. It is quite telling that Blessed Marmion knew the New Testament by heart since his writing is soaked with the Gospels and the other books of the New Testament. Marmion is the great teacher when it comes to the theology of adoption and I would not be surprised in the least if one day he is declared a Doctor of the Church for how much he has contributed to this theology.
There is just so much in this book which covers 450 some pages to really go into much detail, but it is such an amazing accomplishment and while not light reading it is spiritual reading that will bear much fruit. Incarnation theology is especially explored in the first section of the book and his role of high priest. Further chapters explore specific liturgical seasons and events in the life of Christ which is divided into several sections addressing the main topic. Just a great book and it deserves to be on you bed stand (and read).
Blessed Columba Marmion makes being a Catholic very proud of one's faith because you know it is Truth Christ Jesus.
not easy to read because of its style but like all of his books - great classics - well worth reading and keeping for reference or to re-read passages
This book is an updated version of one published in the 1920's. It contains timeless meditations on the mysteries (sacraments) celebrated daily in the Catholic Church. The updates consist of translations of the latin scriptural quotations which were an obstacle to understanding Dom Marmion's intent and a more cogent interpretation of the original French.
I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Amazing Read
This is a powerfully written book on Christ's Mysteries. Each of his reflections take me deeper in my understanding and illumination.
