Oddly enough, the book this is most reminding me of is The Giver. It is not nearly enough to pass on our sacred understanding by us, but rather must be through us. We cannot simply hand over a copy of the Summa or Shakespeare; we have to recreate the same sacred order if it is to have any chance against the anticulture running rampant today. The first line of Psalm 43 (Douay Rheims) is this exactly.

This is a simply incredible book. MacIntyre and Taylor are too calm, C.S. Lewis too polite, but this man Rieff spits fire and speaks terrifying truths.
