Summary/Abstract: Romano Guardini (1885 – 1968) is one of the most prominent Christian thinkers of the 20th century. His works cover a wide range of subjects and focus especially on man, his knowledge, and actions in the world. Guardini approaches these subjects as theologian and man of deep faith, but his reasonings and conclusions are formulated in strictly scientific language. In his works, Guardini frequently writes about sacred liturgy, too. He lived in times marked by a new, vigorously growing liturgical movement and his contribution to the liturgical renewal of the Church was a substantial one from different points of view. This study introduces some of the main contributions Guardini made in the field of Catholic liturgical studies.
