Este libro, todo un clasico, fue escrito por uno de los obispos catolicos del siglo XX masamados. Mons. Fulton J. Sheen reflexiona a lo largo de sus paginas sobre las siete palabras de Maria recogidas por los evangelios y las siete palabras de Jesus sobre la Cruz.
Desde Cana, donde Maria propicio el primer milagro de Jesus hasta las ultimas palabras de Jesus 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 dias.
Con su tipico realismo, Mons. Fulton Sheen establece una relacion entre cada una de la Siete palabras de Jesus con las palabras de Nuestra Madre, mostrando el valor de la ignorancia, de laconfianza en Dios, de la busqueda de un sentimiento religioso que nos lleva a darleun sentido y orientacion a nuestra vida.
No es una coincidencia que Jesus haya hablado solo siete veces en la Cruz y que solo consten en el Evangelio siete palabras de Maria. 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."
