St. Alphonsus Maria de' Liguori Clock of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. All that the Saviour has suffered in the three principal theatres of his passion that is, in the garden of Olives, in the city of Jerusalem, and on Mount Calvary. The contemplations which devout authors have made and written on the passion, are useful and beautiful but certainly a single word from the sacred Scriptures makes a greater impression on a Chris tian than a hundred and a thousand con templations and revelations ascribed to certain holy souls for the Scripture as sures us, that whatever they attest is cer tain with the certainty of divine faith. Hence I have resolved, for the benefit and consolation of souls enamoured to Jesus Christ, to arrange in order, and to relate in simple language (adding a few brief reflections and affections) what the holy Evangelists say Of the passion of Jesus Christ. They supply abundant matter for the meditations of a hundred and a thousand years, and at the same time the most powerful motives to in flame us with holy charity towards our most loving Redeemer.
