The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is based on the detailed visions of Our Lords passion and death as seen by Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), a German Augustinian nun, and recorded by Clemens Brentano, a prominent literary figure of the day. This book has been inspiring thousands since it first appeared in 1833; it is one of the most used texts for Lenten devotion, and most notably, it was the inspiration for Mel Gibsons film The Passion of the Christ. This newly-bound leatherette edition, with gilded pages, a ribbon marker, and burnishing and gold foiling on the cover, is truly worthy of its contents and will withstand long, devoted use.A saintly person from her youth and a great mystic and victim soul, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was privileged by God with nearly a lifetime of ecstatic visions revealing all the events of Our Lords suffering and death; visions that we understand in hindsight were a great gift from God to the world. Her account of the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ is faithful to the Bible, heart-rending, edifying, and surprising because of its intimate detail. The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ recounts with incredible precision the horrendous sufferings undergone by our Savior in His sacrificial act of Redemption. Its illuminative description of Marys participation in the sufferings of her Son gives the reader a poignant understanding of why Our Lady is often called our ;Co-Redemptrix; and ;Queen of Martyrs.; The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a singular book that leaves a lasting impression of the terrible agony of Our Lord, of His infinite love for us that motivated His suffering, and how His passion and death were brought on by each persons sins. Here is a book that gives one a holy conviction just by reading it. Here is a book that will melt a heart of stone!
