The Crucified Jesus

The Crucified Jesus by Fr Manasseh Youhanna is a 20th-century classic of contemplations on the events of Holy Week, now available in English, for every Christian who wants to draw near to the Cross.

It includes a special chapter of contemplations on the words of Jesus on the Cross.

In the wilderness, when Moses saw the bush burning yet not consumed, he said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn" (Exodus 3:3). And God called to him from the bush: "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground" (Exodus 3:5).

As you draw near to this awesome sight of the Crucified Jesus, stand in reverence and set aside every worldly attachment. Prepare for the grace that will pour out on you from the Cross. Look to the Cross as the spring of your salvation, the source of your deliverance, the root of your joy in this life and the assurance of eternal glory in the age to come.
