This devotional treasure by Paul Thigpen, Ph.D. contains forty daily reflections on Our Lord's passion and death. Each day's reflection includes a scriptural text, a meditation, a brief prayer, and an excerpt from the visions of two celebrated Catholic mystics: Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824) and Venerable Maria de Agreda (1602–1665).

In these reflections, you'll join Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prays... Weep alongside Him as He faces trial... Climb alongside Him on the way to Calvary... At the foot of the Cross, He laments with His Blessed Mother.

You'll also consider the roles of other characters in this tragic drama, such as Peter and Judas, Herod and Pilate, Simon the Cyrene and Dismas the Good Thief... and, of course, Satan, whose ultimate victory over Jesus is dashed.

Do you want to progress from one virtue to the next, from grace to grace? Are you looking for complete sanctification of your soul? These are the rewards, insists St. Bonaventure, for those who frequently reflect on the sufferings of Christ.
