This book is a newly revised and illustrated edition of "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ," the book upon which the movie "The Passion of the Christ" was chiefly based. In it the reader will find a great and continual source for meditation on the sufferings that Our Lord willingly endured for the redemption of mankind. The visionary Anne Catherine Emmerich, beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2004, not only mystically experienced the events contained in the gospels but also many other events and words of Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the apostles, and others. In this edition the reader will find some of the archaic terms from the 1862 edition modernized as well as a few other additions in order to make the reading and understanding of this great spiritual classic easier and more spiritually profitable. This book also includes an account of the Resurrection as seen by Anne Catherine Emmerich and a 35 page biography of the holy visionary. Twelve vivid and moving illustrations of the sufferings Our Lord endured will help enhance and deepen the reader's meditations on Christ's sorrowful Passion.

He has also authored "The Revelations of St Bridget and Church Reform" and three other books, all available on Amazon.

In 1914, Luisa writes in a letter to the now Saint, Annibale M. di Francia: “I am finally sending you this handwritten copy of The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May it all be for His greater Glory. I have also enclosed a few pages where I describe the effects and the beautiful promises that Jesus makes to everyone who meditates these Hours of the Passion. I believe that if whoever meditates on them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become holier; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if suffering, he will find strength, medicine, and comfort in these Hours; if weak and poor, he will find a spiritual food and a mirror in which to look at himself continually and so become beautiful and similar to Jesus, our model”.

Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J. fills in the many blanks in the historical narratives about the Passion of Jesus Christ with a riveting account based on history, culture and his own deep spiritual insights. He brings to life and unifies the many observations, emotions and subtle and not-so-subtle actions that revolve around the person of God the Son as he faces his most tragic and triumphant moment. The author’s unique approach intersperses Scripture accounts with the commentary of an incisive narrator who sifts and judges from the span of hundreds of years. He draws from the obvious as well as the obscure, and finds supernatural meaning in the most mundane actions that surround the suffering Christ. In the hands of this writer, the Lord’s few words, accompanied by the author’s commentary, challenge contemporary believers as much as they did those who first followed in the footsteps of Christ and his apostles. The author was born in 1869 in Lancashire, northern England and educated at the prominent Catholic college, Stonyhurst, which has been the source of many English Catholic politicians, intellectuals and business people. After a degree from the University of London, he was ordained a Jesuit in 1903. He served as archbishop of Bombay from 1919 to 1926 and returned to England to write and serve as a chaplain until his death in 1939.

BIOGRAPHERS have already told us much about St. Louis De Montfort and the Rosary; now, with this first English edition of THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY, we can listen to Montfort speaking for himself. Drawing upon his own experience as well as upon the experience of others, he endeavors to bring home to the reader, “in a simple and straightforward manner,” as he himself tells us, the authentic message of the Rosary; namely, that it is a veritable school of Christian life. He sees it as including essentially the meditation of the mysteries of the life, death and glory of Jesus and Mary, with a view not only to honoring but especially imitating their virtues as held up to our consideration in each mystery.
