A new book by Cardinal Fernando Filoni

"E tutta la casa si riempì del profumo dell’unguento. Per una spiritualità dell’Ordine del Santo Sepolcro" is a new book published by Libreria Editrice Vaticana and signed by Cardinal Fernando Filoni.

It is a book on the spirituality of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. In these pages, the Grand Master, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, reflects on the life project, convictions, values and choices of a Knight and a Lady.

"It is the Order itself that gives primary importance to the vocation to holiness of its members and aspires to be an instrument of development and deepening for the spiritual progress of everyone in the environment in which the faith is practised and lived in its content," writes Cardinal Filoni in the introduction. Pope Francis, speaking to the members of this Pontifical Institution, urged them "not to forget that the principal purpose of your Order lies in the spiritual growth of its members. Therefore, any success of your initiatives cannot disregard adequate religious formation programmes addressed to each Knight and each Lady, so that they may consolidate their indispensable relationship with the Lord Jesus, especially in prayer, meditation on the Holy Scriptures and in the deepening of the Church's doctrine'. (Address of the Holy Father to the Members of the Council of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, 16 November 2018).
