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) Calvary and the Mass (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1936) The Cross and the Beatitudes (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1937) The Rainbow of Sorrow (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1938) Victory over Vice (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1939) The Seven Virtues (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1940) Seven Words to the Cross (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1944) Seven Words of Jesus and Mary (New York: P. J. Kenedy and Sons, 1945) Each meditation will offer the reader a mini-retreat on the following topics. First Meditation - A reflection on the words "My God! My God! Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?".
