The Cross at Ground Zero
by Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R.
About the Book (from Our Sunday
Visitor)
Millions of Americans gazed in disbelief
as the magnificent World Trade Center buildings collapsed into piles of
rubble on September 11, 2001. After the shock and horror wore off, the
questions began.
Where Was God On 9/11? How
could this have happened? Why
did God allow such evil? And
then, the daunting thought—Where will God be when I need Him?
Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., addresses all these
questions in his new book, The Cross at Ground Zero.
He reassures us that the iron cross, found at the world trade center,
leads to the cross of Jesus which stands at the center of all pain, all
suffering, indeed all history. He explains that Jesus did not come to take
away suffering. He came to sanctify suffering by His presence. He was at
Ground Zero in the World Trade Center. He will be with you in your own
personal Ground Zero whether it is the death of a child, a cancer
diagnosis, the loss of a job.
