'The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ' Summary
"The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" is a powerful and moving book written by Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German Roman Catholic nun and mystic. Based on her visions of the events surrounding the Passion of Christ, the book provides a detailed and intimate account of Jesus Christ's final days, from his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to his crucifixion and resurrection.
Emmerich's vivid descriptions bring the events to life, providing readers with a powerful and personal insight into the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. She describes in detail the physical and emotional pain that Jesus endured, from his brutal beating and torture to the agony of his crucifixion.

It is seen as a powerful meditation on the Passion of Christ and a means of deepening one's faith.
Overall, "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" is a deeply moving and insightful book that provides a personal and powerful perspective on one of the most important events in Christian history.
