On the Immaculate Conception

by Prosper Guéranger, Dom Cuthbert Brogan (Editor)

Four years before the Solemn Definition of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854, Dom Gueranger published his monumental work, Memoire sur la Question de l'Immaculae Conception de la Tris Sainte Vierge . With characteristic zeal and his outstanding sensus Ecclesiae, he wished to share an enthusiasm and conviction which had been his since his seminary days. This first ever English translation of the work is published as a collaboration between the Benedictine nuns of St Cecilia's Abbey, Ryde, and the monks of St Michael's Abbey, Farnborough, to mark both the 150th anniversary of the solemn proclamation of the dogma and the bi-centenary of the birth of Dom Gueranger.

About the author

Dom Prosper Louis Pascal Guéranger, Servant of God, was a Benedictine priest, abbot of Solesmes Abbey (which he founded in the disused priory of Solesmes) and founder of the French Benedictine Congregation (now the Solesmes Congregation). Dom Guéranger was the author of The Liturgical Year, which covers every day of the Catholic Church's Liturgical Cycle in 15 volumes. He was well regarded by Pope Pius IX, and was a proponent of the dogmas of papal infallibility and the Immaculate Conception. Dom Guéranger is credited with reviving the Benedictine Order in France, and revitalizing the Tridentine Mass.
