The Gaze of the Crucified Christ

History & Biography

“Dimech writes about growing up, discovering empathy, learning about Jesus and the saints, and noticing an insatiable thirst for knowledge and being of service. She writes with passion about political and spiritual awakening. . . . Christ told her to stay with him, and she did—despite the pain and joy of falling in love in a context of chosen celibacy, the cruel but liberating absoluteness of death, and the pain of illness. . . . An eye-opener of a book.”
