The Gaze of the Crucified Christ

History & Biography

“Like many young people in her community, at the age of seventeen, Pauline Dimech promised to fix her gaze on Christ crucified for the rest of her life. At the age of thirty-four, she experienced Christ crucified gazing at her. Through the narrative of her life story, Pauline’s book illustrates how the divine gaze, as in an icon, precedes the human gaze ‘in order to engulf it in an infinite depth,’ as Jean-Luc Marion would say.”
