NEW! From Bishop Fulton Sheen


As death approaches,
the human heart speaks its
greatest words of love to
those it holds most dear.





So it was with Jesus who in
His final hours gave us seven
last “words,” rich with spiritual
meaning for every human soul.





For the first time ever,
Archbishop Fulton Sheen's
complete writings and reflections
on Christ’s last words have been
compiled into this one book.





Archbishop Sheen shows how
the seven words are, in fact, a full
catechism on the spiritual life.





From them, you’ll learn the secrets
to living the Beatitudes, ways to avoid
the deadly vices of anger, envy, lust, and
pride, and how to cultivate the heavenly
virtues of fortitude, prudence,
justice, and charity.


With Archbishop Sheen
as your guide, you’ll also learn:
  • Why, during His Passion, Jesus never proclaimed his innocence.
     
  • Why Jesus appealed to His Father to forgive, but did not Himself forgive directly.
     
  • What Jesus’ third word from the Cross says about lust.
     
  • Why, like Jesus, the most innocent among us must suffer.
     
  • Why darkness covered the earth after Jesus spoke his fourth word.
     
  • What the Passion says about judging others (and why it’s an assault against hope).
     
  • How the conversion of the good thief is the key to the conversion of our modern world.
     
  • How envy becomes the denial of all justice and love.
     
  • The difference between the virtue of hope and the emotion of hope.
 
Few books are such
an inspiring call to sanctity,
and few books are such a
spiritual powerhouse.

Do you tire of hearing
Christ referred to as
"Jesus our friend"?


Do you long to recover
a sense of the dignity and
power of the Son of God?





The holy priest Romano Guardini
will take you into the mind and heart of
God's Son, helping you to understand
the inner logic of Jesus's ministry:



 Why did He not heal all the
sick (in his time and now)?



 Why did He never travel far
from the dusty fields of Palestine?



 Why did He not simply
demonstrate his power to
the influential people of his day?



 Why could He not conform to
conventional ideas of what
it means to be a hero?


God is calling you to holiness,
and if you understand the path
Christ took, you can better understand
the path God is choosing for you now.


Msgr. Guardini mentored
Pope Benedict XVI, just as he will
mentor you through these pages.

"As we are taught by Guardini, the essence of Christianity is not an idea, not a system of thought, not a plan of action. To become truly real means to come to know Jesus Christ and to learn what it means to be human."

Pope Benedict XVI
