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.
