The protagonists who at the height of their pain come across a person – or rather the Person: Jesus. He too cried out in his abandonment on the cross, discarded by heaven and earth. They experience passing from death to life, from pain to love as expressed by some passages from Chiara Lubich which are included in the stories It is a project which was created thanks to a host of contributors.

The Cross, a Treasure Chest of Communion

Jesus’ death on the cross reveals a man so deeply rooted in a relationship with the Father that he is able to trust Him completely, up to the very end. And it is for this reason that Calvary becomes the precious vessel in which all of God’s love for us is gathered. Igino Giordani’s words invite us to make room for silence and attentive listening, so that we can begin this path of contemplation, redemption, and communion with God and with one another.
