Abstract

The article focuses on the Fourth Last Word, spoken by Jesus during the crucifixion, specifically examining its connection to the suffering of saints Perpetua and Felicity. It explores the meaning of Jesus' cry, drawing parallels to the Psalms, Catholic theology, and the concept of redemptive suffering. It contrasts this perspective with modern views on pain and suffering in a therapeutic society, emphasizing the Christian understanding of embracing suffering for spiritual growth and salvation.
