Best-selling author Edward Sri guides you through the last hours of Christ\u2019s life in this biblical pilgrimage.\u00a0While taking this study or reading this book, you will walk step-by-step with Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Mount of Calvary. \u00a0Every step of the way, biblical experts reveal how Old Testament prophecies, messianic expectations, biblical symbolism, and historical context shed light on the mystery of Christ\u2019s suffering and death.\u00a0With these insights, Catholics can come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of God\u2019s immeasurable and unconditional love\u2014drawing closer to Jesus than ever have before.\u00a0Authored and presented by Edward Sri, No Greater Love also features Fr. Mike Schmitz, Jeff Cavins, Jennifer Fulwiler, Curtis Martin, Teresa Tomeo, Fr. Josh Johnson, and Elizabeth Sri.<\/p>\n<p>In this study, Catholics discover\u2026<br \/>\n\u2013 The Biblical background to each scene in Christ\u2019s passion.<br \/>\n\u2013 What was Jesus going through at each moment?<br \/>\n\u2013 How did the Old Testament foretell of Christ\u2019s death?<br \/>\n\u2013 Why did Christ die for us? What did it accomplish?<br \/>\n\u2013 What was the meaning behind of the tearing of the temple veil, the crowning with thorns, and other events during Christ\u2019s Passion?<\/p>\n<p>Edward Sri also unpacks commonly misunderstood sayings of Jesus, such as\u2026<br \/>\n\u2013 \u201cFather, if it be possible, let this cup pass?\u201d\u2014Was Jesus thinking of backing out at the last minute?<br \/>\n\u2013 \u201cMy God, my God why have you abandoned me?\u201d\u2014Was Jesus really abandoned by the Father on the cross?<br \/>\n\u2013 \u201cYou have said so.\u201d\u2014What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, Catholics who take this study will encounter God\u2019s love to the fullest.\u00a0Pope Benedict XVI invites us to think of the Passion, not just as suffering, but also as the passion of a lover. For in the cross, we see God fully revealed as \u201ca lover with all the passion of a true love\u201d. \u00a0Jesus doesn\u2019t want our applause. He wants our hearts. Are you ready to draw closer to Jesus in his passion than you ever have before?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_cta_0 et_pb_promo et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_no_bg\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_promo_description\">\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tuesday Evenings in the Spirit Center<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>From 6.30 \u2013 8.00 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tuesday, 18 February 2020<br \/>\nTuesday, 25 February 2020<br \/>\nTuesday, 3 March 2020<br \/>\nTuesday, 24 March 2020<br \/>\nTuesday, 31 March 2020<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Workbook Cost: $28.00<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Registration Due to Parish Office by Noon on Monday, 3 February 2020<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href='https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd1EX8IHT0MVZHsxGXFx8wP_BuOwVzbuhM3r3s9nvVMxNEAng\/viewform?usp=sf_link' class='small-button smallblue' target=\"_blank\">Register Online<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href='https:\/\/stmarylancaster.org\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Registration.pdf' class='small-button smallblue' target=\"_blank\">Print Paper Registration Form<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filmed on location in the Holy Land, No Greater Love is a five-part video series and full-length book that reveals Christ\u2019s amazing love for us.
