The passion and the cross - Ronald Rolheiser

'Full of profound insights... these meditations on Christ's Passion culminate in a completely convincing understanding of the Resurrection. Rolheiser's great gift is to make faith real. This deserves to become a classic.' - The Tablet

Daily readings for Lent, from one of today's most influential spiritual writers.

When we think of Jesus' passion and crucifixion, we often think of his
physical suffering and death. But the Gospels themselves do not
emphasise Jesus' physical sufferings; instead, the Gospel writers want
us to understand Jesus as a faithful lover of humanity, who undergoes
moral and emotional suffering without resentment or bitterness.

Drawing
from Scripture, story, theology, contemporary culture and his
own
life, Fr Ronald Rolheiser - one of the most influential spiritual
writers of our day - invites us to a new understanding of redemption,
and offers profound insights into the meaning of our own loss and
suffering.
