The Cross and the Beatitudes: Lessons on Love and Forgiveness

Rating:
Summary: Good spiritual reading
Review: Archbishop Sheen's short series of meditations on the Seven Last Words and the Seven Beatitudes is a good read for anyone who wishes to meditate further on Our Lord's Passion. Though he claims there is no connection between the two subjects other than his artificial construction, I believe that he saw a real connection that exists between the two. Some of his written information is contextual (such as the "mailed fist of Communism"), but when one spends time in contemplation, one will realize that his information is not as dated as it seems. A good read any time of the year, but recommended especially for Holy Week.

Review: This helps me to become a better Christian. The dedication is even timeless: "To Mary, who through the Cross, leads us to the Beatitudes."
