In the summer of 1976 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Professor Dr. Waclav Soroka invited Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski to be the keynote speaker at the next meeting of the Annual Lectures on Poland. Cardinal Wyszynski was an old friend, and Soroka hoped to shed some light on the plight of the Polish people under Communist rule. However, the Cardinal could not make it, so he made a suggestioninvite the other Polish Cardinal. The other Polish cardinal, as he was known at the time, was Cardinal Karol Wojtyla. Providentially he was attending the International Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia that summer and was willing to travel to a small rural city in central Wisconsin to give the academic lecture. Little did anyone know at the time that they would be welcoming a future Pope (John Paul II) as well as a living saint.

Raised in London, the son of a school master, Thomas More became a great scholar, Oxford graduate and lawyer. He served King Henry VIII becoming one of his trusted advisors.

This book was the last that St. Thomas More wrote in the Tower of London before he was executed for standing firm in his Catholic faith. In it, he explores the Gospel passages that depict the agony of Our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. He depicts Christ as a model of virtue in the face of suffering and persecution. And along the way, he includes valuable and eternally relevant reflections on prayer, courage, friendship, statesmanship, and more. Here is an excellent resource for Lent or anytime!

"Of all the world's great religious symbols, the Cross is the most widespread and the most enduring. This beautiful book celebrates it in all its countless varieties, as perhaps it has never been celebrated before."--John Julius Norwich, chairman of Venice in Peril (1971-2000), chairman of Serenissima Travel (1972-1987) "This is a wonderful book. These images, gathered in one place, are an unique experience for the believer and non-believer alike. They are extraordinary artistic representations of great beauty from all over the world. Serena Fass's passion to follow her path is palpable as you turn the pages."--David Verey, chairman of the Tate Gallery Trustees (1998-2004), chairman of the Art Fund (2004-) Serena Fass has compiled a collection of many important and beautiful representations of the Cross, spanning different strands of the Christian faith from the earliest Christians in Pompeii to the present day, and criss-crossing the globe from Norway to Zimbabwe and Peru to Australia. Works are illustrated in a variety of media, including architecture, painting, sculpture, ivories, textiles, metalwork, and jewelry, as well as examples of the Cross manifest in nature. Serena has tried to convey the wide variety of cultural representations that illustrate Jesus's great commission to "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" (Mark 16:15).
