Build a Temple to God! A Retreat With The Mystical Temple of God

• Discover you are a mystical temple of God
• Through the Immaculate Conception & Baptism
• Live the mystery every day & embrace His plan for you
• Based on the classic by the founder of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception

Saint Stanislaus Papczy?ski, founder of the Congregation of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, wrote a spiritual guidebook, The Mystical Temple of God (Templum Dei Mysticum),  for all people (clergy, laity, and consecrated), so that each of us could draw strength from the mystery of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, live the mystery every day and discover that through Baptism we became a mystical temple of God.

He also wrote it in order that every man, by accepting and cooperating with God’s grace, could shine evermore brightly with God’s holiness in this life and, after death, enjoy the glory of heaven. This book has been prepared as an aid for individual retreats completed on the path of everyday life.

Its basis and main reference is The Mystical Temple of God, although the content has been rearranged and modernized. Using Build a Temple to God, you can meditate on whole chapters, parts of chapters, or even smaller fragments of this guide. It is also worth reading St. Stanislaus’ original text, which helps us see God’s plan for each of us: 

• How we were desired and loved by God before the foundation of the world, 
• Became His temple through Baptism, 
• & are invited to unity with God both here on earth and ultimately in eternity.

Walking the path of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, under the guidance of St. Stanislaus, we too can become a mystical temple of God forever.
