Overview
"World-renowned evangelist, Emmy Award winner, and New York Times best-selling author Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen presents a collection of engaging sermons, that will encourage the reader to better understand the two greatest sermons preached by Christ. THE CROSS AND THE BEATITUDES Jesus calls all His children to the pulpit of the Cross, and every word He says to them is set down for the purpose of an eternal publication and undying consolation. There was never a preacher like the dying Christ. There was never a congregation like that which gathered about the pulpit of the Cross. And there was never a sermon like the Seven Last Words. These meditations on the Seven Last Words correlated to the Beatitudes make no pretence to absoluteness. The Words are not necessarily related to the beatitudes but they do make convenient points of illustrations. BLESSED ARE THE MEEK ""Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."" BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL ""This day thou shalt be with me in paradise."" BLESSED ARE THE CLEAN OF HEART ""(Son) behold thy mother, Woman, behold thy son."" BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT ""My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"" BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER JUSTICE ""I thirst."" BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS ""It is consummated."" BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN ""Father into thy hands I commend my spirit."""

Some chapters touched me very, very deeply and I can honestly say that reading this book changed my life and it came at a very needed moment in my life. Catholicism and Christianity loving God. Very beautiful book, written about the Scriptures of Beatitude. In love and praying for All of Us in this World that we share and live in. to walk a mile with your enemy and show love to conquer HATE in the World. Very inspiring and learn to be strong in Faith and Scripture. Excellent for private mediation and class discussion Excellent correlation made by Archbishop Fulton Sheen between the beatitudes and the last seven words of Christ on the cross! It is a good, short, and easy-to-read book for private meditation or class discussion. Never before reading this book had, I made the connection between the Sermon on the Mount and the famous last words spoken by Christ before He died. Truly an eye-opening book! Sheen is relatable. Lovely little meditations on the Beatitudes and the Seven Last Words by the premier Catholic apologist of the 20th century. Easy to read and digest like all of Fulton Sheen's work.
