The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ (Deluxe Edition)

The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ

By Saint Alphonsus Liguori · Published by TAN Books

Overview

Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Prince of Moral Theologians and Doctor of the Church, 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 is clear, the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. In this powerful spiritual classic, Saint Alphonsus leads readers into deeper meditation on the sufferings of Our Lord and the love revealed through His sacrifice.

Through profound reflections, affections, discourses, and meditations, Saint Alphonsus invites Catholics to contemplate Christ crucified and apply these truths to their own trials and sufferings. He poses penetrating questions that challenge the soul: Who can complain of suffering when Jesus was bruised for our sins? Who could love anything more than Christ, who died amid insults and pain to win our love? Who could refuse obedience when Christ became obedient unto death?

By meditating on the Passion, readers are drawn into a deeper understanding of God’s love and a greater willingness to embrace the cross in their own lives. This classic devotional helps Catholics see suffering through the lens of redemption and grow in holiness through union with Christ crucified.
