The Passion and the Cross
Ronald RolheiserHardback 2016-01-14
Publisher Description
:Ronald Rolheiser, one of the most influential spiritual writers of our day, offers profound reflections on the central mystery of our Christian faith. His beautifully written meditations on the passion and the cross invites you to a new understanding of redemption and offers insight into the meaning of your own loss and suffering. Take a journey into the deeper meaning of pain with guidance from a trusted spiritual advisor.
Drawing from Scripture, story, theology, contemporary culture and his personal life, Fr. Rolheiser gives readers new insight and encouragement into the twin themes of suffering and redemption. When we think of Jesus' passion and crucifixion, we often think of his physical suffering and death. But Fr. Rolheiser helps us see that the Gospels do not emphasize Jesus' physical sufferings. The Gospel writers want us to understand Jesus as a faithful Lover who undergoes moral and emotional suffering without resentment or bitterness. In a series of profoundly moving reflections, Fr. Rolheiser explains that Jesus' energy, strength, and freedom - like ours - is rooted in love and in personal transformation. Like all deep things in life, the Cross is a mystery, but clearly reveals God's unconditional love and vulnerability. The Cross calls us beyond ourselves, our own agenda, our small lives to a life lived for others, for the One who made us.
