Una Voce America

MABLETON–St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Atlanta has begun sending daily email messages with meditations on the liturgical year. The meditations were written by Dom Prosper Guéranger, the Benedictine abbot who re-founded the Solesmes monastery in France in 1833. Dom Guéranger wrote a 15-volume series that covers the whole liturgical year with many details of the history of the celebrations and explanations of the significance of many ceremonies.
