Seven Last Words

An Invitation to a Deeper Friendship with Jesus

About this book

“Spiritually rewarding and
uplifting.” — Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York

New York Times bestselling
author and editor at large of America magazine
Father James Martin reveals how we can turn to Christ completely in mind,
heart, and soul. Martin offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the
cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments and shows us what it
means to be fully human.
Each meditation is dedicated to
one of the seven sayings:

  • “Father, forgive them, for
    they do not know what they do.”
  • “Today you will be with me
    in Paradise.”
  • “Woman, this is your
    son”  . . .  “This is your mother.”
  • “My God, my God, why have
    you forsaken me?”
  • “I thirst.”
  • “It is finished.”
  • “Father, into your hands I
    commend my spirit.”





















With the warmth, wisdom, and
grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s
crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the
Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his
followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his
empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
