Cardinal Bernardin's Stations of the Cross: Transforming Our Grief and Loss Into a New Life - Paperback

by Eugene Kennedy (Author)

Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, had long been considered the leader of American Catholicism and was so widely respected that he was thought to be the only American who might become Pope. His destiny, as those close to him soon sensed, was not to become a Pope but a saint instead. These meditations reveal the parallels between the passion of Christ, as known through scriptural scholarship, and the passion of Cardinal Bernardin in the fourteen stations of his own life.

Back Jacket

"The legacy of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin is more precious than ever, and Eugene Kennedy brings it fully alive. Bernardin and Kennedy together represent religious hope at its most compelling. For Catholics this book is an act of rescue; for all, it is an act of redemption."
- James Carroll, author of Constantine's Sword and Secret Father
