Product Description

What does love for Jesus forsaken entail? What place should it have in the practice of the Christian life? The purpose of The Choice of Jesus Forsaken is to show that love for Jesus forsaken is an act of theological faith; as a consequence, it has ecclesial, sacramental, and social dimensions.

In the first part the author analyzes what constitutes love for Jesus forsaken according to Chiara Lubich. She then tries to understand how the faithful can participate in this mystery of Christ by studying two authors of the New Testament, St. Paul and St. John.

Endorsements

The gospels present many portrayals of Jesus: the one who heals, who forgives, who teaches, etc. With these being so familiar to people, it might seem strange to many to discern the real Jesus in the moment of his most extreme, personal and agonizing suffering. And yet that was the case for Chiara Lubich, when in 1944 she affirms Jesus as her Ideal in the moment he cried out on the cross to the Father, My God, My God why have you forsaken me? In this book, Florence Gillet unfolds for us in theological terms an understanding of this profound mystery of Jesus, the highest manifestation of God's love and mercy.

A precious gift has been given to us in these pages. It is at the same time a delicate and powerful gift. It is a gift that has matured by the involvement of the work of a group of theologians, women and men, lay and clerical, Christians of different Churches and countries.
-Piero Coda,
Professor of Theology, Sofia University Institute
