Course Description

Jesus Christ began His public ministry on the Mount of Beatitudes giving us His central teachings on how to live the Christian life. His earthly ministry closed on Mount Calvary where he uttered what has come to be known as "The Seven Last Words." In his book The Cross and the Beatitudes: Lessons on Love and Forgiveness, Fulton J. Sheen explores the connection between these two significant events. This session will explore the interesting correspondence between each Beatitude and each word of Jesus on the Cross.
