What were Jesusâ final seven statements on the cross? How do they speak to your life today?
In this audio retreat, award-winning New Testament Professor Sr. Laurie Brink, O.P., Ph.D., shows you how to lift Jesusâ last words off the pages of scripture and inscribe them onto your own life. An engaging retreat leader, Sr. Brink imparts wisdom that will uplift and edify your spirit.
As you pray along with Meditations on Christâs Seven Last Words, youâll practice changing your perspective. Sr. Brink employs the metaphor of trifocals:
â First, youâll peer into the evangelistsâ distinct narratives. spirit.
â Second, youâll turn your gaze inwards at your own experience. In other words, âWhat is Jesus saying to me?â spirit.
â Third, youâll glance upâwith, as Sr. Brink says, âa great deal of hubrisââimagining how Christâs words might be seen from Godâs vantage point.
Divided into seven parts, this retreat invites you to ponder each of Jesusâ seven statements from the cross over the course of a week. The accompanying written guide rounds out the retreat experience with in-depth lecture outlines and notes.
As you take turns viewing Jesusâ ultimate words, you will experience new heights and depths of feeling in your annual recital of the Easter story.
