Jesus' death on the cross is the central act of human existence which links every act of suffering, self-giving, or self-denial with God Himself. The author of the book, Why the Cross? is a priest who wrote on the eve of World War II, makes the connection between the Crucifixion as the horrible expiation for all sins, and the need for ordinary faithful to willingly embrace suffering in its various forms to find their way to God.
"Too many use their religion as medicine and not as food. They make of it a remedy for evil and not a means to good."
Fr. Edward Leen (1885–1944) was born in Ireland in a large Catholic family with 14 children, of whom seven died in infancy. As a Holy Ghost father, he was a scholar in dogmatic and ascetical theology, who wrote many books. Two of them, The Holy Spirit and Why the Cross, have been reprinted by Scepter.
