Who can ever complain that he suffers wrongly when he considers Jesus, who was bruised for our sins? Who could love any other object besides Jesus when they see Him dying in the midst of so many sufferings and insults, in order to captivate our love? Who can refuse to obey, on account of some inconvenience, when Jesus became obedient unto death?</p>\n<p>Saint Alphonsus provides profound and rich reflections, affections, discourses, and meditations on the events surrounding Our Lord’s passion and death. He brings these to the everyday struggles and sufferings of even the modern reader. As Catholics, we strive to see the world the way that God sees the world. He makes real the events surrounding the ultimate event that brought about our eternal salvation. Saint Alphonsus states, “All the saints cherished a tender devotion towards Jesus Christ in his Passion; this is the only means by which they sanctified themselves.” If we want to be saints, we must embrace the cross, and we can understand better what this means through the guidance and wisdom in this book.</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$49.95","value":49.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"},"height":"8.50","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (Deluxe Edition)","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9781505133035","options":[{"id":5379,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":10669,"label":"Deluxe Leatherette","selected":true,"data":"Deluxe Leatherette"},{"id":10888,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":4143,"sku":"TE3578","name":"The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/digital/books/the-passion-and-death-of-jesus-christ-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks"],"summary":"Saint Alphonsus Liguori, the Prince of Moral Theologians, asks, “from what source did the saints draw courage and strength to suffer torments, martyrdom, and death, if not from the sufferings of...","image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/4143/11007/9781505133035__27684.1712167874.1280.1280__58679.1723164543.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (eBook)"},"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/4143/11007/9781505133035__27684.1712167874.1280.1280__58679.1723164543.jpg?c=1","alt":"The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (eBook)"}],"date_added":"Aug 9th 2024","pre_order":false,"show_cart_action":true,"has_options":false,"stock_level":null,"low_stock_level":null,"qty_in_cart":0,"custom_fields":[{"id":58982,"name":"SEARCH_IGNORE","value":"true"}],"num_reviews":0,"weight":{"formatted":"0.00 LBS","value":0},"demo":false,"add_to_cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=4143","price":{"without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$9.95","value":9.95},"tax_label":"Tax"},"add_to_wishlist_url":"/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=4143"},{"id":1382,"sku":"2659-GROUPED","name":"The Passion: Reflections on the Suffering and Death of Jesus Christ","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-passion-reflections-on-the-suffering-and-death-of-jesus-christ/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/Become a Saint/Jesus Christ","Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks","Books/Occasions /Lent & Easter "],"summary":"In this devotional treasure, you’ll find forty daily reflections on the passion and death of Our Lord.

The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (Deluxe Edition)
Saint Alphonsus Liguori, the Prince of Moral Theologians, asks, “from what source did the saints draw courage and strength to suffer torments, martyrdom, and death, if not from the sufferings of Jesus crucified?” His answer: the passion and death of Jesus Christ.
In The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, St. Alphonsus asks the most important questions Catholics can ask themselves in prayer, especially when we encounter suffering. Who can ever complain that he suffers wrongly when he considers Jesus, who was bruised for our sins? Who could love any other object besides Jesus when they see Him dying in the midst of so many sufferings and insults, in order to captivate our love? Who can refuse to obey, on account of some inconvenience, when Jesus became obedient unto death?
Saint Alphonsus provides profound and rich reflections, affections, discourses, and meditations on the events surrounding Our Lord’s passion and death. He brings these to the everyday struggles and sufferings of even the modern reader. As Catholics, we strive to see the world the way that God sees the world. He makes real the events surrounding the ultimate event that brought about our eternal salvation. Saint Alphonsus states, “All the saints cherished a tender devotion towards Jesus Christ in his Passion; this is the only means by which they sanctified themselves.” If we want to be saints, we must embrace the cross, and we can understand better what this means through the guidance and wisdom in this book.
