Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Dolorous Passion has been inspiring thousands each year since it first appeared in 1833 – being based on the detailed visions of Our Lord’s 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 that time. A saintly person from her youth and a great mystic and victim soul, Sister Emmerich was privileged by God during almost a lifetime of ecstatic visions to see all the events of our Lord’s suffering and death. These visions, we can now realize with hindsight, were a great gift from God to the world. Her account of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, while faithful to the Bible, is heartrending, edifying and surprising – becasuse of its amazing detail.
