Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons on Cana and Calvary

A meditation on the seven words of Mary's life as recorded in the Scriptures and Our Lord's seven words on the cross. It is interesting and instructive that Our Lord spoke only seven times on Calvary and that his mother is recorded as speaking only seven times, the last of which is at the Marriage Feast of Cana, the beginning of Christ's ministry.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979), one of the 20th century's best-known and loved Catholic prelates, was a lecturer, professor, philosopher, preacher, and writer. A radio and television personality, he is widely regarded as the original media luminary for the spiritual world. This former director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith leaves behind an enormous written and oral history. In addition to two weekly syndicated newspaper columns that ran for close to two decades, he authored scores of books.
