últimas siete palabras: Una invitación a una amistad más profund
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
Cada meditación está dedicada a una de las siete frases:
«Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen».
«Te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso».
«Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo»… «Ahí tienes a tu madre».
«Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has desamparado?».
«Tengo sed».?
«Todo se ha cumplido».
«¡Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu!».
Con la calidez, sabiduría y gracia que llenan sus obras, el padre James Martin explica por qué la crucifixión y muerte de Jesús en la cruz es un importante momento de enseñanza en los Evangelios. Las declaraciones finales de Jesús, palabras que son profundamente atesoradas por sus seguidores, ejemplifican la profundidad de su sufrimiento pero también proporcionan una clave de su empatía y por qué ponemos conectar con Él tan profundamente.
Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
“Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
“Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
“I thirst.”?
“It is finished.”?
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”
With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion 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.
