and ldquo;Father James Martin is one of the most brilliant philosophical minds of our times. His prolific career as a writer has brought to us the insight and awareness of service to others along with the need to incorporate Joy into our lives.and rdquo;

OM Times

and ldquo;Based on a series of reflections he delivered on Good Friday, 2015, in St. Patrickand rsquo;s Cathedral in New York, Fr. Martin preserves the sense of discursive intimacy with which he conducted the talks, while offering the reader the chance to engage the traditional Lenten exercise of prayerful meditation.and rdquo;

and ldquo;One of the most important religious voices in the country.and rdquo;

Religion News Service

Martin’s book keeps coming back to the central point: Yes, Christians believe Jesus is divine-but, because he also was human, Jesus’s compassion is deeper than we may expect. . . . Readers will walk away feeling hopeful-and feeling a renewed commitment to help others in our world.

Read the Spirit

This insight alone makes this book worth reading: Jesus endured suffering, so he understands ours. There is nothing more isolating than suffering, everyone’s suffering is largely incommunicable. Thus, in seeking to shoulder the sufferings of others we must pray to be able to hear the muffled cry.

Sister Helen Prejean

When you struggle in the spiritual life, when you wonder where God is, when you pray in doubt and darkness, and even when you are close to despair, you are praying to someone who is fully human and fully divine, someone who understands you fully.

America Magazine

and ldquo;Martin invites the reader to inhabit the gospels; to live out the Passion in the privacy of the mind. He knows how to render the familiar-yet-strange events of Good Friday in such a way that the reader does not so much relate to Jesusand rsquo; experience as taste it.and rdquo;

The Tablet

and ldquo;The renowned Jesuit, James Martin, offers reflections on Christand rsquo;s last words and refers to the type of and lsquo;radical forgivenessand rsquo; Christ showed on the cross. It is very powerful, but very rare. Yet when we see it, we recognize it, he says.and rdquo;
