Description

Based on his talks at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, Fr James Martin offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understoff our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart and soul.




With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Fr James explains why Jesus's crucifxion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus's final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
