El libro fue escrito por la necesidad de un corazón sacerdotal, de manera espontánea, frente a las amenazas de las ideologías globales del mundo moderno, que son y deben ser un serio desafío tanto para la Iglesia como para todo católico. La maldad de estas ideologías proviene de su sistema de valores y razonamiento, alternativo al cristianismo, que trastorna todo el orden moral y jurídico del mundo y, como consecuencia, puede conducir a una catástrofe cultural de nuestra civilización.

We Catholics simply don't expect enough of the sacraments. Sometimes, I think they must be the most underutilized power sources on the planet. The sacraments lie dormant for many because we don't understand them, not knowing how to tap into their supernatural energy. Living the sacraments weaves together Scripture, the writings of the saints, and personal stories to help us understand these seven gifts of the church and experience their practical and spiritual rewards.

Cardinal Ratzinger compellingly shows us the biblical, historical, and theological dimensions of the Eucharist. The cardinal draws far-reaching conclusions, focusing on the importance of one's personal devotion to and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, for the personal reception of communion by the individual christian, as well as for the life of the church. For Ratzinger, any transformation of the world on the social plane grows out of the celebration of the Eucharist. He beautifully illustrates how the omnipotent God comes intimately close to us in the Holy Eucharist, the heart of life.

Che uomo era Gesù? Come si è formato nell’infanzia e nella giovinezza? Come è nata in lui una certa idea di Dio e del mondo? Come è diventato maestro e predicatore? Come ha iniziato a fare miracoli? Come è arrivato a essere rifiutato e crocifisso? Quale fu l’effetto del suo modo di vivere sulla società in cui viveva? Cosa capirono davvero i contemporanei di lui (e cosa noi, oggi, capiamo di lui)? Cosa rimane, insomma, del suo personalissimo Vangelo? Rispondere a tutte queste domande significa riscoprire la figura di Gesù e comprendere perché ancora oggi affascini credenti e non credenti.

Il libro è stato scritto dalla necessità di un cuore sacerdotale, spontaneamente, di fronte alle minacce delle ideologie globali del mondo moderno, che sono e devono essere una seria sfida sia per la Chiesa che per ogni cattolico.

By the time Pope John Paul II first spoke the words that became a hallmark of his papacy–"Do not be afraid!"–he had long since learned the secret to fearlessness: absolute trust in God.

All of us encounter valleys on our journey with the Lord—those periods of spiritual desolation that are a painful yet unavoidable feature of our prayer life.

Gallagher carefully identifies in this book the various forms of spiritual and nonspiritual desolation and supplies the remedy for each.
