Cardinal Bernardin's Stations of the Cross

Joseph Cardinal Bernardin had long been considered the leader of American Catholicism and was so widely respected that he was thought to be the only American who might become Pope. His destiny, as those close to him soon sensed, was not to be-come a Pope but a saint instead. This is a deeply reflective medi-tation on the last months of Bernardin's life and how they mirror the traditional stations of the passion and crucifixion of Christ.

Eugene Kennedy is an award-winning author, a psychologist, a syndicated columnist, and professor emeritus at Loyola University of America. Once a priest, he and his wife, Sara Charles, M.D. live in Chicago.
