Publisher's Synopsis
These reflections focus upon the crucified Lord Jesus. They seek to relate the mystery of the love of God in Christ crucified to the devotional life of the pilgrim disciple. Although primarily reflections for Lent, they also seek to link the awesome events of Good Friday to five major Festivals of the church's liturgical cycle - Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost. They seek to encourage us to ponder the fact that behind the horror of it all, in which every age and all conditions are enfolded, there is an eternally loving purpose which both reveals and heals the best and worst of the human condition. By allowing the mystery of such love to more fully embrace us, we open ourselves to the possibility of transformation. We enter such mystery that such mystery may more fully enter us to the glory of God. The book is intended for individual or group study, and will be of particular interest during Lent or Holy Week. Each chapter concludes with a prayer and some suggestions for further consideration and discussion.
