I have found that during the Holy Seasons of Advent and Lent the below works of Fr. Saward to be extremely helpful to me. I return to these works ever year.
Mysteries of March
Redeemer in the Womb
Cradle of Redeeming Love
Fr. Saward represents someone who I consider to be one the best of contemporary Ressourcement theologians alive today. Others in this camp include Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, Glenn W. Olsen and Regis Martin. Church leaders within this camp include Pope B16 himself and Cardinals Sconborn, Scola and Ouellet. When you read what they write and meditate upon it you are breathing the air of Ressourcement. It's not only how they write, their very style, but also who they reference. Immerse yourself in their writings. You will not be disappointed. Once you read them and the Masters themselves (de Lubac, Danielou, Balthasar, and Giussani) there is no turning back. Nothing else outside of Sacred Scripture and the writings of the saints will suffice.
