The Dolorous Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ - Anna Catherine Emmerich - Bog

The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book written by Anna Catherine Emmerich, a German nun and mystic, in the early 19th century. The book is a detailed account of the last days of Jesus Christ, including his crucifixion and death. Emmerich claimed to have received visions and revelations from God about the events surrounding Christ's Passion, and she recorded these experiences in the book. The book begins with a description of the Last Supper and follows Jesus through his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Emmerich provides vivid descriptions of the physical and emotional suffering that Jesus endured, including his scourging, crowning with thorns, and carrying of the cross. She also includes details about the people involved in these events, such as Pilate, Herod, and the soldiers who carried out the crucifixion. Throughout the book, Emmerich emphasizes the spiritual significance of Christ's suffering and death, and she encourages readers to contemplate the meaning of these events in their own lives. The book has been praised for its vivid and detailed descriptions of the Passion, as well as its spiritual insights. It has also been criticized for its reliance on mystical experiences and its historical inaccuracies. Nevertheless, it remains a popular and influential work in Catholic literature.The chalice which the Apostles brought from Veronica's house was wonderful and mysterious in its appearance. It had been kept a long time in the Temple among other precious objects of great antiquity, the use and origin of which had been forgotten. The same has been in some degree the case in the Christian Church, where many consecrated jewels have been forgotten and fallen into disuse with time. Ancient vases and jewels, buried beneath the Temple, had often been dug up, sold, or reset. Thus it was that, by God's permission, this holy vessel, which none had ever been able to melt down on account of its being made of some unknown material, and which had been found by the priests in the treasury of the Temple among other objects no longer made use of, had been sold to some antiquaries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
