Light from Light
by Fr. Brawn Sullivan
Using his novelist’s imagination, Father Sullivan enters into twelve Gospel scenes involving the Passion and the Resurrection of Christ, starting with Martha at the tomb of Lazarus and concluding with Mary Magdalene at the tomb of Jesus. Adhering strictly to the Scriptural line of action itself, but expanding dialogue, probing aspects of thought, feeling and motivation among the characters, Fr. Sullivan fleshes out the Scriptural passages in novelistic terms, creating a full and three-dimensional telling of the final weeks leading up to the Crucifixion, death and Resurrection of Jesus. A four-part summary of the Easter joys of Jesus, lifted directly from one of Fr. Sullivan’s most popular homilies, is narrated from a more remote perspective, but the rest of the scenes read as if they were chapters from a novel. Join Martha in her hopes at her brother’s tomb; follow Peter, wild with grief, out of the courtyard after his denial of Jesus; pace the gleaming marble floors with Pilate as, especially urged on by his wife, he desperately tries to find a way to set Jesus free. For a deep imaginative dive into the events of the Passion and the Resurrection, LIGHT FROM LIGHT will not disappoint.
