In Crucified Love: Littleness, Spousal Love, and Fiat as Instruments Jesus Used in Enduring the Cross, Dr. Mary Elizabeth Kloska explores the theology of "crucified love," focusing on humility, spousal love, and complete surrender (fiat) as key virtues. Through Jesus' example of sacrificial love, she examines how the Virgin Mary and the saints emulate these virtues, emphasizing their transformative power for uniting with Christ in redemptive suffering. Kloska presents littleness and love as pathways to sanctity, inspiring Christians to embrace Christ-like humility and love through the Cross.
