Took this small unimposing book with me on retreat. It set the frame of mind for the entire weekend. Twenty years after his death Fulton Sheen is still the best spiritual advisor for the Roman Catholic in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reflections, both simple and profound, April 6, 2007

It truly takes a master both of the spirit and of the pen to take the deep mysteries of faith and present them in such a way as to make them accessible to most people. This is what Sheen has done in this book. Taking each of the seven last words of Christ, he has drawn out of them a meditation, expounding on their deep significance, not only then, but moreso now, in our own lives.

It's a very short book, useful for a retreat, or perhaps as I did, for meditation during Good Friday.

If you have never read any works by Fulton Sheen, this is a great book to start with, it's very small about 60 pages, but it is packed with references and insights only Fulton Sheen can bring out. He has an amazing writing style, with a love for the Lord very few of us will ever experience. if you like this book i recommend reading his famous work "Life of Christ" which is another great book, it focuses on the life of the Lord from Annunciation to Resurrection...
