THE PASSION AND THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST

Louis Blosius relates that our Lord revealed to several holy women - to
St. Gertrude, St. Bridget, St. Mechtilde, and St. Catharine of Sienna - that
they who meditate on his Passion are very dear to him. According to St.
Francis de Sales, the Passion of our Redeemer should be the ordinary subject
of the meditation of every Christian. Oh, what an excellent book is the
Passion of Jesus! There we understand, better than in any other book, the
malice of sin, and also the mercy and love of God for man. To me it appears
that Jesus Christ has suffered so many different pains - the scourging, the
crowning with thorns, the crucifixion, etc. - that having before our eyes so
many painful mysteries, we might have a variety of different subjects for
meditating on his Passion, by which we might excite sentiments of gratitude
and love. St. Augustine writes that "there is no more profitable occupation
for the soul than to meditate daily on the Passion of Our Lord."


St. Alphonsus de Liguori
