Just as a candle is lit from the flame of another, so faith is kindled by faith.

Romano Guardini

Romano Guardini (1885–1968) war ein katholischer Priester, Religionsphilosoph und Theologe, der im 20. Jahrhundert vor allem in Berlin, Tübingen und München lehrte. Er profilierte sich als Vordenker der Liturgischen Bewegung und verband theologische Fragen mit moderner Kultur- und Existenzphilosophie, was ihm zeitweise Kritik aus konservativ-neuscholastischen Kreisen einbrachte. Für Bibelleser eröffnen seine Schriften, insbesondere das Werk „Der Herr“, einen existenziellen Zugang zu den biblischen Texten und verknüpfen theologische Reflexion mit persönlicher Glaubenspraxis.
