Jesus' Last Prayer

Description
Book Introduction
“The grace of Christ flows to the Church.”
Adrienne von Speyer,
Talking about the 'grace' in the 'word'
Adrien von Speyer, a Swiss physician and modern mystic, demonstrated a complete theological system through mystical experiences, even though he did not study theology.
She wrote over 60 books on theology, spirituality, mystery, and stigmata, and had a spiritual relationship with Hans Urs von Balthasar, considered one of the most representative theologians of the 20th century, directly influencing his understanding of theology.
A book containing Speyer's spirituality and meditations has been published.
This is the third book in the Spier series, “The Last Prayer of Jesus.”
In this book, the author rediscovers the seven sacraments of the church through the words of the cross.
By saying that the words spoken by the Lord on the cross shape the Church and are deeply embedded in the Church's "today," he constantly invites us to enter into the mystery of the Word, without being bound by the form of each word and each sacrament.

Into the book
What is important is not the order of the seven words or the sacraments, but rather the unity of these testamentary words and the ecclesial form condensed within them.
This match will never be forgotten by either side.
--- p.6, from the “Preface”
The Lord has given us not only life on earth, but also death.
He gave us even his death, which he always referred to as the decisive moment of his existence and which he placed such great significance on, as a gift.
He didn't want to know in advance when that time would be.
As he died in agony, he wanted to accept that moment as it was, in the hands of the Father.
--- p.9, from the "Introduction"
It was not enough for the Father to look upon the suffering of the Son and for the Son to bear the responsibility for the sins of mankind.
The Son wanted the Father to accept man in a sinless state.
--- p.26, from “Father, Please Forgive Them”
The One who suffers on the cross chooses to become human, with all the potential for suffering, in order to help and bring salvation to all others, and to suffer as a human being.
This is the culmination of his mission.
--- p.59~60, from “My God, My God”
Like St. John of the Cross in the dark night, the priest no longer needs to publicly announce his solitude.
Because the saint on the cross does this for them.
--- p.64, from “My God, My God”
We know which way to turn to quench our thirst.
But the Lord endures the thirst of negativity, the thirst of deprivation, the thirst for all that has been taken away.
This is the horror of that night when He had no choice but to say, “I thirst!”
--- p.77, from "Thirsty"
When the Father sent the Holy Spirit to the woman, it was the Father who had the Holy Spirit.
But now, the dying saint possesses the Holy Spirit, and it is in this exchange of spirits that the essence of God's love is revealed.
This match will never be forgotten by either side.

Publisher's Review
Coming vividly
Words and Sacraments on the Cross
Christians live their lives following the example of Jesus.
The most important of these is the suffering and crucifixion that Jesus endured in the last moments of his life as a human being.
What happened once is transmitted into the church and remains valid at every moment, at all times.
So the cross is the center of everything, and to understand the cross, we must know well what Jesus said on the cross.
"The Last Prayer of Jesus" connects the seven last words of Jesus on the cross with the seven sacraments of the church, showing how the event of the cross still affects us today.
Moreover, the words come to us vividly as if Jesus were actually hanging on the cross before our eyes, and are naturally connected to the sacraments.
In this way, we can more easily encounter Jesus on the cross and realize that He is with us at every moment through the sacraments, a visible form of His love.
“The saint is hanging between heaven and earth with his arms outstretched.
Unable to make any gesture of blessing, unable to touch anything, yet still holding out both arms to guide someone.
“The two hands show new paths, new directions, new graces, and are placed on the horizon that opens beyond the world.” ― From the text
“Through the word of the Father, He opens the way for sinners.
All that knowledge is now laid upon the cross, and it cannot be taken away from sinners.
Because that knowledge was not in the sinners in the first place.
The Father will forgive.
“For it is only important to Him that the mission of the Son is fully accomplished, because He hears the request of the Son.” ― From the text
A must-read during Lent
Jesus' special last prayer
Remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus is a core belief of Christianity.
So, how should we spend the coming Lent to joyfully welcome the resurrection of Jesus? While we may engage in various activities like sacrifice and service, let's read a special devotional to meditate on Jesus' Passion.
There are many devotionals containing the last seven words of Jesus on the cross, but it is difficult to find a book that connects the words spoken on the cross with the sacraments of the church like “The Last Prayer of Jesus.”
This book guides us to meditate deeply, following the author's meditation on the beginning and end of the event of the cross and the beginning and end of life contained in the sacraments of the Church.
Reading this book will allow you to encounter Jesus, who had to suffer to save humanity, and who is still with us in the sacraments.
