Este libro, todo un cl sico, fue escrito por uno de los obispos cat licos del siglo XX m samados. Mons. Fulton J. Sheen reflexiona a lo largo de sus p ginas sobre las siete palabras de Mar a recogidas por los evangelios y las siete palabras de Jes s sobre la Cruz. Desde Can , donde Mar a propici el primer milagro de Jes s hasta las ltimas palabras de Jes s sobre la Cruz, el libro analiza los acontecimientos desde las perspectivas entrelazadas de la Madre y el Hijo, ofreciendo consuelo y respuestas a los temores y dilemas delcreyente de nuestros d as. Con su t pico realismo, Mons. Fulton Sheen establece una relaci n entre cada una de la Siete palabras de Jes s con las palabras de Nuestra Madre, mostrando el valor de la ignorancia, de laconfianza en Dios, de la b squeda de un sentimiento religioso que nos lleva a darleun sentido y orientaci n a nuestra vida. No es una coincidencia que Jes s haya hablado solo siete veces en la Cruz y que solo consten en el Evangelio siete palabras de Mar a. Como elocuentemente dice Mons. Fulton Sheen: "Ahora que el sol ha salido, ya no hay necesidad de que la luna brille; ahora que la Palabraha hablado, ya no hay necesidad de palabras". The companion volume to Characters of the Passion and The Cross and the Beatitudes. The inspirational classic from one of the most popular and best loved Catholic prelates of the 20th century interprets the relationship between the seven recorded words that Our Blessed Mother spoke in the Gospels and the seven last words of Jesus as he hung on the cross. From Cana where Mary set the stage for her Son's first miracle to Jesus' last words from the Cross on Calvary, this book analyzes the Gospel story from the interwined perspectives of Mother and Son, offering solace and solutions to the fears and dilemmas of today's Christian. In his usual down-to-earth style, Archbishop Sheen compares each of Our Lord's seven words with Our Blessed Mother's chronologically corresponding words, reflecting, in turn, on the value of ignorance, the secret of sanctity, confidence, the search for religious meaning, the purpose of life, and more. It is in no way coincidental that Jesus spoke only seven times on Calvary, and that his mother is recorded as speaking only seven times in the Gospels. As Bishop Sheen so eloquently says of Mary: "Now that the Sun was out, there was no longer need of the moon to shine. Now that the Word has spoken, there was no longer need of words."

Originally published in 1958, 'Life of Christ' was written by Fulton J. Sheen, an American bishop of the Catholic Church known for his preaching and especially his work on television and radio. This is a dramatic and moving recounting of the birth, life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ, and a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and most of all the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millennia. With his customary insight and reverence, Sheen interprets the scripture and describes Christ, not only from a historical perspective but also in exciting and contemporary terms, seeing in Christ's life both modern parallels and timeless lessons. A captivating blend of philosophy, history, and Biblical exegesis, it has long been a source of inspiration and guidance. For those seeking to better understand the message of Jesus Christ, this vivid retelling of the greatest story ever lived is a must-read.

"In Christ and through Christ God has revealed himself fully to mankind and has definitively drawn close to it." Although written three decades after Life of Christ first appeared, these words of Pope St. John Paul II could very well stand as its epigraph. Diligently attending to the Gospel sequences, Fulton J. Sheen expands and enlivens the narrative to illuminate the central truth of the Incarnation. Namely, that in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, God has shown Himself to man-and man to himself-in every time and place, without limitation. Life of Christ also features Sheen's customary timeliness, offering a rebuke and correction of the two defining atheistic systems of modernity: the one which takes up the Cross but denies Christ, reducing it to a harsh, unloving discipline; the other which accepts Christ but rejects his Cross, making the Gospel merely a "brotherhood without tears." Following Christ's ministry through to its culmination in the Paschal Mystery, Sheen shows how God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
