Adrienne von Speyr leads us to the foot of the Cross, where she gazes upon the crucified Christ and listens deeply as he cries out in suffering and opens the portals of divine grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cross: Word and Sacrament\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge and encourage the reader to participate more deeply in the Paschal Mystery through a greater appreciation and understanding of the sacraments and their source in the Cross. The words Jesus utters in his agony, as recorded in the Gospels, contain not only the gifts experienced in the sacraments of the Church but also questions: Do you truly understand what is being offered to you? Will you accept these gifts? Will you suffer the mystery contained in such love?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short, this book calls the reader to conversion, which is a continual process of turning toward the Son, who leads us, in union with the Holy Spirit, into an ever-deepening relationship with the Father. Thus is the reader invited to enter the very life of the Trinity, that communion of love without end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrienne Von Speyr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621642046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621642046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 4.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Adrienne Von Speyr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756766621951,"sku":"9781621642046","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2dd4f7c-2b07-417a-8307-4c8dadcdfff5.jpg?v=1706593797","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cross-adrienne-von-speyr-9781621642046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
