•••••

You have a personal glimpse of Our Lord's sorrows through the thoughts and feelings of those who were closest to Him in this compelling tale. The apostles, the accusers, the condemned, the executioners, and the people Jesus encountered on the road to the Cross will all be used to help you understand Jesus. The Passion of Jesus is brought to life through the expert interweaving of scriptural sources and narration by Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J., who draws on historical analysis, popular culture, and his own profound spiritual insights.

You will be captivated by the subtle impressions, feelings, and behaviors that surround Jesus as He experiences His most dreadful and glorious moments. You will learn to comprehend Jesus' unwavering love, St. John's inner intuitions regarding the anguish of Jesus' Heart, St. Peter's impatience, and Judas Iscariot's thoughts and motivations in betraying him.

Fr. Goodier unveils Jesus' thoughts, feelings, and deeds as he leads you through this introspective meditation on the Gospels and describes the sorrows Jesus experienced inside His soul.

Most importantly, you'll come to understand who Jesus is for you and what He wants you to become for both Him and others. To connect our sorrows to those of Jesus and to relate to the pain of His Heart, Archbishop Goodier teaches that we need to practice "active compassion." When you consider Jesus' suffering in the garden, the absurdity of His conviction, and the devilish tortures He underwent, you will understand the extreme pains that only the God-Man could withstand.

You will start to genuinely understand Jesus, the suffering He underwent, and why He endured through the eyes of the saints, the great lovers of God. Just like they did for those who initially followed in the footsteps of Christ and His apostles, the words of our Lord both challenge and encourage modern Christians. Your comprehension of Christ's humility, mercy, and love will increase as you immerse yourself in Archbishop Goodier's reflections, and you won't ever again have the same perspective on His Passion.
