Bellarmine S. J.

Come, sit at the foot of the Cross!

These seven words were the ＂last sermon＂ of the Savior of the World. Jesus’ words from the Cross contain everything that the prophets foretold about His preaching, suffering, and miracles.

The Seven Last Words Spoken from the Cross is a powerful reflection on the final words of Jesus Christ. The author, St. Robert Bellarmine, was a major figure in the Catholic Counter-Reformation and his insights are as profound now as ever, perhaps more than ever.

Deepen the Way of the Cross!

Use Bellarmine’s contemplations of Christ’s words to enrich your Lenten journey to Good Friday and Easter. The Seven Last Words Spoken from the Cross is a wealth of insights for the whole of the Christian life, which points always to Christ, who was lifted up on the Cross so ＂that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.＂
