The Seven Words on the Cross

About the Book

I have read the Rev. Anthony Mbanefo’s work entitled Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross, and I found it to be well-written and beneficial to Catholics worldwide, seeking to have a deep meditation on the meaning of our Lord’s passion. I want to encourage pastoral agents to read the book and to promote its reading.
Rev. Dr. Jorge R. Colón, STD, Ph D, D Div

This book is a reliable companion to Christians who want to explore the hidden treasure of the life, suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Fr Mbanefo’s reflection helps readers to understand the mystery of suffering in a very profound and realistic way. The exposition is a call to authentic discipleship rooted in a true love of Jesus Christ and faith in the power of his cross. I recommend this book to all those who want to grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ and to respond properly to the day to day challenges of life.
