Synopsis "Father, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do: Meditations on the First Word from the Cross (in English)"
"Father, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do." (Luke 23:34)Meditations on the First 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 "Father, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do." (Luke 23:34)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)Calvary and the Mass (New York: P.
