Meditations on the Passion of Our Lord - Paperback

The saints tell us that meditating on the Passion is the sovereign remedy for sin. If we keep the thought of what our sin caused before our minds, we will not be inclined to continue in a life of sin. Let us therefore take up good books, such as this one, and become the saints God wants us to be. This is the true road to happiness. IT is difficult to say which is the first act of the Passion. I may take the first moment of our Lord's life, and there are many references to the Passion throughout His life; but the first physical act is this journey to the Garden where He was to accept His Passion, and begin the sufferings which were to end in death. He went, therefore, from the town into a country place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray." And taking with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
