Academy Award-winning filmmaker Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ is one of the most controversial and successful motion pictures of all time. Gibson drew inspiration for his film from this striking book, which literally fell off his shelf and into his hands while he reached for another title.During her remarkable life, the Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich, an Augustinian nun, received a magnificent gift from God: vivid and unforgettable visions of the enormous suffering of Jesus Christ. Emmerich’s incredibly intense visions form an unforgettable picture of the last days of Jesus’ life. Collectively, they are a powerful testament to Christ’s heroic sacrifice and God’s immeasurable love for all His children.
The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is an extraordinarily moving book. It is impossible to read it and not be deeply touched.
