\"romano<\/a>Some fascinating news –at least it was fascinating to me– that the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising is preparing to open the Cause of Canonization for Father Romano Guardini, one of the most influential Catholic theologians of the 20th century. Several groups have developed praying for Guardini’s beatification.<\/p>\n

The press is reporting that\u00a0Reinhard Cardinal Marx is expected to formally open the Cause before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Father Guardini was born in Verona in 1885 and died\u00a0in Munich on October 1, 1968.<\/p>\n

He taught at the University of Berlin,\u00a0the University of T\u00fcbingen and at the University of Munich. Guardini has been called the patron saint of education (or the educator).<\/p>\n

Some of Guardini’s major theological contributions:<\/p>\n

The Spirit of the Liturgy
\nThe Lord
\nThe End of the Modern World
\nThe Art of Praying
\nThe Inner Life of Jesus
\nMeditations Before Mass
\nThe Rosary of Our Lady
\nThe Living God
\nEternal Life
\nAnd the Word Dwelt Among Us.<\/p>\n

The popes, including the last two, have relied upon the thinking of Guardini.\u00a0In the 1980s when Francis was shipped off to Germany by the Jesuits to get him away from Argentina he went to Germany he was to prepare a\u00a0doctoral dissertation on Guardini but never finished the work. Pope Francis said,\u00a0\u201cconvinced that Guardini is a thinker who has much to say to the people of our time, and not only to Christians\u201dThe emeritus pope Benedict stated that Guardini is\u00a0\u201ca great figure, a Christian interpreter of the world and of his own time\u201d. It is said that Father Guardini was a principal source of influence in Benedict’s writings.<\/p>\n
