Stations of the Cross Compiled from The Dolorous Passion: of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the Meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich - Paperback

This booklet is a compilation of the words of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich pertaining to the fourteen traditional Stations of the Cross. These words spoken by the Blessed and transcribed for her by Klemens Brentano have been a source of inspiration to many, including Fr. Gerard Manley Hopkins, Jacques and Raissa Maritain, and Mel Gibson in his writing of "The Passion of the Christ." The material is arranged in such a way as to facilitate the praying of the Stations of the Cross by the faithful. The second fall of Jesus (traditionally the 7th Station) is combined with the 4th Station in Blessed Anne Catherine's visions; and the third fall of Jesus (traditionally the 9th Station) is combined with the 5th Station. Thus, the Stations of the Cross presented here are twelve in number, though all fourteen traditional Stations are represented within the twelve.
