The Love of the Crucified

The Love of the Crucified is a substantial collection of one hundred carefully ordered meditations on the Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Our Lord. Drawing deeply from Sacred Scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the writings of the Saints, Rev. Karl Clemens presents a disciplined method of meditation intended not only to move the heart, but to form the soul.

Each meditation unfolds in a deliberate structure—scriptural foundation, doctrinal explanation, moral application, and concluding affections—guiding the reader to a deeper understanding of the love revealed in Christ’s sufferings and a more faithful response to that love in daily life. Designed for sustained use throughout the year or for more intensive Lenten devotion, this classic work offers abundant material for serious spiritual growth rooted firmly in the mystery of the Cross.
