What place should it have in the practice of the Christian life? The purpose of this book is to show that love for Jesus forsaken is an act of theological faith; as a consequence, it has ecclesial, sacramental, and social dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the first part the author analyzes what constitutes love for Jesus forsaken according to Chiara Lubich. She then tries to understand how the faithful can participate in this mystery of Christ by studying two authors of the New Testament, St. Paul and St. John. The author is Florence Gillet with an introduction by Piero Coda. Translated by Bill Hartnett from the book published in Italy by Citta Nuova.\u003c\/p\u003e The gospels present many portrayals of Jesus: the one who heals, who forgives, who teaches, etc. With these being so familiar to people, it might seem strange to many to discern the \"real\" Jesus in the moment of his most extreme, personal and agonizing suffering. And yet that was the case for Chiara Lubich, when in 1944 she affirms Jesus as her \"Ideal\" in the moment he cried out on the cross to the Father, \"My God, My God why have you forsaken me?\". In this book, Florence Gillet unfolds for us in theological terms an understanding of this profound mystery of Jesus - the highest manifestation of God's love and mercy. \u003cstrong\u003eBishop Michael Mulvey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eCorpus Christi, Texas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlorence Gillet\u003c\/strong\u003e earned a doctorate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
