On the Cross of Rejection : Meditations - When Your Heart Is Pierced

Rejection is a part of the journey of faith. To be rejected by friends hurts-being rejected by family even more so. This rejection is a mystery that encompasses you when you choose to follow Jesus Christ. Like him, you will experience that strange feeling of rejection by God himself, when you too cry out, "Father, Father, why have you forsaken me?" But as Catherine explains in this collection of meditations, if you want to follow Jesus, you must walk with him to a place where you will face the ultimate rejection: Christ occupied one side of the cross-you must be crucified on the other side. From its height, you will get a first glimpse of the land of love. For here, Love himself sets out on the supreme road of suffering. You will know that you must not blame anyone, and what is more, you must both bless them and pray for them, for maybe they knew not what they did.Doherty, Catherine is the author of 'On the Cross of Rejection : Meditations - When Your Heart Is Pierced' with ISBN 9780921440918 and ISBN 092144091X.
