My God! My God! Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? - Fulton J. Sheen - Bog

"My God! My God! Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:46)
Meditations on the Fourth Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"The perfectly sized meditation book (5.5 x 8.5") for use at home or church." (Special 'JMJ' Edition)
For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ's Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2).
This anthology has been arranged to provide nine unique reflections for study and meditation on the words "My God! My God! Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:46)
These meditations are taken from several books and articles written by Sheen between 1933 and 1945.
The Seven Last Words (New York: Century, 1933)
The Seven Last Words and the Our Father (Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor 1935)
