The Crown of Sorrow

'The Passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love. The greatest and most overwhelming work of God's love.'-St Paul of the Cross

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the richest sources of meditation and prayer and a most fruitful one; as St Francis de Sales said, 'Mount Calvary is the academy of love'. In this small book Archbishop Alban Goodier gives first a harmony of the Passion-a single text woven from the Passion narratives of the four Evangelists-and then 52 meditations on each part of the Passion. The meditations in this book make a perfect Lenten meditation book, entering deeply into the Passion with a meditation for each day, starting in the lead up to Lent.
