Summary:
From the pulpit of the cross, Christ gave His final and most riveting sermon: His seven last words. In times past, Christ frequently spoke in parables, but no more. No,Christ penned these words with His royal blood like a calligrapher using the most delicate of strokes.Christs seven last words are the greatest utterances ever recorded in the history of the worldgreater than the words of any esteemed orator, heroic leader, or even saint, because theywere the last words of God to mankind. They are the mystical compendium of the entire Gospel, the perfection of the Beatitudes.Yes, Christ saved the best for last, just like at the wedding feast of Canaonly this time, it was the blood and water from His side that were offered freely to His own bride, the Church.
In this engrossing work, the seraphic doctor, Saint Bonaventure, and Arnold of Bonneval, a Benedictine abbot, offer some of the most profound insights into the seven last words of Christ. Arnold, a friend of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, is believed to be the first person to write on the seven last words, inspiring Bonaventure. While the seven last words have been glossed over for centuries by Christians, it is now time to uncover theirhidden and powerful meaningfor there is no greater meditation than pondering the Teachers last lecture. In Christs seven last words, we find the necessary direction to reach the heights of perfection. This work was translated by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB
