The Mysteries of March - Hans Urs Von Balthasar on the Incarnation and Easter (Paperback, New edition)

Every March the Church celebrates the great mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption. By means of a profound meditation on the Annunciation and Easter, John Saward takes us to the mystical heart of Christianity. His guides on the journey are the theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr, whose work Balthasar himself regarded as more important than his own. In the company of these two spiritual giants, Saward shows, among other things, the importance of Holy Saturday (the period between the death and resurrection of Christ), and the great meaning it offers for those who have experienced the apparent absence of God in desolation and depression.
