The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ – By Anne Catherine Emmerich

The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Anne Catherine Emmerich is a powerful and deeply moving account of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, as revealed through the mystical visions of the author. Written in the early 19th century, the book is based on the revelations Emmerich experienced, which were transcribed by the poet Clemens Brentano. These vivid, emotional descriptions of Christ’s Passion offer profound insights into the physical and spiritual torment He endured, making it a poignant work for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the events surrounding the Crucifixion.

This book of meditations on the torment of Jesus, first published in 1833, was one of the inspirations for Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion of the Christ. German Roman Catholic saint and mystic ANNE CATHERINE EMMERICH (1774 to 1824) had powerful and detailed visions of the events leading up to and including the crucifixion of Jesus, during which she suffered the stigmata. Related as if by an observer on the scene, this compelling retelling of the last days of Jesus’s from the preparations for the Last Supper through Jesus’s temptation the Garden of Gethsemani and his confrontation with Pilate to his execution and resurrection, this is a unique perspective on a story that continues to resonate through Western culture today, and is essential reading for Christians seeking a deeper understanding of their faith, as well as for readers of modern religious mythology.
