General Description:

Fr. A. G. Sertillanges

These pages will intensify your love of Jesus by burning the events of His Passion into your memory and imagination.

Written by a priest who lived in Jerusalem and spent many a day walking and praying in the streets where Jesus walked and prayed, this famous devotional classic gives you vivid details not included in the Gospels; and it brings the Gospel events to life for you in unexpected ways.

With Jesus, you'll be jostled by crowds as you enter Jerusalem, choke on the dust of the narrow streets, smell the exotic scents of the city at festival time, share the Last Supper with the disciples, stare into the faces of His accusers, and look clown at the milling crowd as He dies on the Cross.

A retreat, a pilgrimage, and a holy hour all in one book!

So intense is this account of Jesus' last hours and so faithful to the Gospels - that countless eminent Christians use it as spiritual reading before praying or to prepare themselves for Mass.

Try it yourself: read just one chapter slowly and prayerfully. The vivid details and gripping narrative will soon take over: you'll find yourself engaged in a moving personal retreat, a stunning inner pilgrimage, and an unforgettable encounter with Jesus' tender love for you as He freely gave His life for you on the Cross.

From Christ's Cross, you'll:

Recall with Him the rich past of His people ... and anticipate with sorrow the destruction of their temple in Jerusalem
See in the crowd the malice of enemies, the dismay of friends, and the indifference of most others
Gaze upon the Mount of Olives,the Upper Room, and Gethsemane, and recall with Jesus the holy deeds He performed in each.
Remember the forty days in the desert, the marriage at Cana, the baptism by John, the expelling of devils, the calling of Apostles, and many other events of His holy life.
Watch as these events rise to their fearful and necessary consummation on Christ's Cross.

"I am happy to recommend what Jesus Saw from the Cross. In it, we enter into the Heart of Jesus during His Passion and discover how precious we are to Him."
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"These pages are like a visit to the Holy Land - 2000 years ago! A powerful aid to meditation."
- Rev. Benedict Groeschel
