1. The Science Of The Cross
A dense spiritual-philosophical meditation that reads the Christian mystery of the cross as a formative path: through purification, self-emptying and participation in Christ’s suffering the soul is led to freedom, loving union with God, and active compassion for others. Drawing on careful philosophical insight and practical guidance for prayer and interior life, it shows how surrender and inner transformation—not mere resignation—become a disciplined knowledge that shapes moral strength, contemplative insight, and authentic service.
