What if Good Friday is not only the story of suffering… but the place where hope begins? From the Cross, Jesus spoke seven short sentences. They were spoken into history — but they were meant for your life. In this book, Allan Smith leads readers through 21 deeply personal meditations inspired by the preaching of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, helping us hear Christ’s final words not as distant echoes, but as living invitations. Here you will discover: • mercy that speaks before you ask • hope offered to the worst sinner • a Mother given in the hour of loss • faith when heaven seems silent • a love that still thirsts for you • the courage to remain until the end • and the peace of placing everything in the Father’s hands Featuring the historic Good Friday radio addresses of 1933 and 1935 , this volume allows a new generation to encounter the power, clarity, and urgency of Sheen’s voice at Calvary. Stay long enough beneath the Cross, and you will hear Him speak your name. “There was never a preacher like the dying Christ. And there was never a sermon like the Seven Last Words.” — Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
