The last words of Jesus contain the story and promise of his entire life. Art Zannoni unpacks them for us in this beautiful volume with faith and insight. Read these seven meditations slowly. Re-read them as you would Scripture in Lectio Divina. Let the words sink into your heart and you will walk away from this encounter more deeply rooted in Divine love.
