You undoubtedly believe you know the story of the Passion. Every year, the same texts resonate in our churches. But have you ever taken the time to truly look at the faces surrounding the cross?
This book is not one more scholarly commentary. It is an invitation to an encounter. Through twenty-nine characters, from the most famous to the most discreet, this booklet offers you a face-to-face with yourself. Peter who denies, Simon who helps, Veronica who consoles, or the guards who lie: each of them is a mirror of your own heart.
By following the four stages of this journey, from the initial rupture to the breath of the Resurrection, you will discover that God does not seek heroes. He seeks fragile men and women. Relying on the wisdom of the Church Fathers and the greatest contemporary theologians, the author delivers here a lectio divina accessible to all.
Let these gazes shake you. Do not fear your own areas of shadow. At the end of the road, you will find not only a tragic end, but the light of a morning that changes everything. A precious guide for living Holy Week as close as possible to the living Christ.
