Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Passion: Historical Essay There is no study more interesting or more profitable to the Christian than that of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even if we only consider the narrative of the Sufferings and Death of Our Lord, with regard to what is thrilling therein, we must still give it the first place amongst all reading capable of affecting souls and even of exciting them. And if we aim at elevating them, - at inspiring them with a liking for robust virtue, - teaching them to understand the meaning of trial and expiation, and inspiring them with confidence in God, joined to a desire to be united to Him in a holy abandonment, - what counsel could equal in effect that preaching of which so many hearts have felt the charm and have submitted to its allurement? The knowledge of Christ Crucified, to use the words of Saint Paul, is by far the most necessary knowledge for the Christian, no matter what may be the state of his soul in the sight of God. The sinner learns from it to hope for pardon, and to detest sin. Those who are still faithful, but disturbed by the seductions of Evil, behold therein at what cost the Divine Victim will atone for their sin. Those who are stronger, but yet who are lukewarm, will find therein a powerful incentive to self-renunciation, to mortification, to contempt for this transitory world and the fleeting things of Time.
