Lumen Cordium was established in 2017 by Michele Guerra and Lisa Russo.
Our deep desire is to spread the treasures of the Catholic Church’s spirituality, namely the devotion to Our Lady and the cult of the saints, especially those of our times. Despite being a small publisher, our books are available in all Catholic and non-Catholic bookshops in Italy and worldwide on the web.
Currently we are collaborating with various authors, in particular Sister Emmanuel Maillard, Fr Carlo Rocchetta, Saverio Gaeta, Fr Enrico Porcu and Fr Antonello Cadeddu.
Lumen Cordium is consecrated to the Holy Spirit, to whom we entrust every activity and work. Our patrons, to whom we ask for a constant intercession and protection, are Blessed Elena Guerra and the Servant of God brother Marcel Van.
Mission
Our deep desire is to spread the treasures of the spirituality of the Catholic Church, particularly the devotion to Our Lady and the cult of saints, especially those of our times, which few know and who accompany us in an extraordinary way in these difficult times. Through our books we want to collaborate in the New Evangelization which, as a rich sap, is traversing all the young members of the Church and testifies to the great work of God today. Our strengths are the possibility of distributing even small numbers of books throughout the world and the dissemination of some books also in other languages. Currently we have texts translated into Spanish, Portuguese and German and French besides Italian.
Projects
Despite our small size, we are distributing our books in all Catholic and non-Catholic bookshops in Italy as well as worldwide via internet.
