The Seven Last Words

Wonderful Lenten resource. Easy to read, Archbishop Fulton Sheen does a beautiful job explaining the seven last phrases of Christ. I will order this book again to give to family and friends.

Reflections, both simple and profound

It truly takes a master both of the spirit and of the pen to take the deep mysteries of faith and present them in such a way as to make them accessible to most people. This is what Sheen has done in this book. Taking each of the seven last words of Christ, he has drawn out of them a meditation, expounding on their deep significance, not only then, but moreso now, in our own lives. It's a very short book, useful for a retreat, or perhaps as I did, for meditation during Good Friday.

Spiritual Classic

Took this small unimposing book with me on retreat. It set the frame of mind for the entire weekend. Twenty years after his death Fulton Sheen is still the best spiritual advisor for the Roman Catholic in America.
