The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is based on the detailed visions of Our Lords passion and death as seen by Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), a German Augustinian nun, and recorded by Clemens Brentano, a prominent literary figure of the day. This book has been inspiring thousands since it first appeared in 1833; it is one of the most used texts for Lenten devotion, and most notably, it was the inspiration for Mel Gibsons film The Passion of the Christ. This newly-bound leatherette edition, with gilded pages, a ribbon marker, and burnishing and gold foiling on the cover, is truly worthy of its contents and will withstand long, devoted use.A saintly person from her youth and a great mystic and victim soul, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was privileged by God with nearly a lifetime of ecstatic visions revealing all the events of Our Lords suffering and death; visions that we understand in hindsight were a great gift from God to the world. Her account of the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ is faithful to the Bible, heart-rending, edifying, and surprising because of its intimate detail. The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ recounts with incredible precision the horrendous sufferings undergone by our Savior in His sacrificial act of Redemption. Its illuminative description of Marys participation in the sufferings of her Son gives the reader a poignant understanding of why Our Lady is often called our ;Co-Redemptrix; and ;Queen of Martyrs.; The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a singular book that leaves a lasting impression of the terrible agony of Our Lord, of His infinite love for us that motivated His suffering, and how His passion and death were brought on by each persons sins. Here is a book that gives one a holy conviction just by reading it. Here is a book that will melt a heart of stone!

“For I am certain that if anyone reaches perfection in just a single one of these virtues, they shall achieve perfection in them all. And whoever increases in one virtue, will simultaneously grow in every other virtue, too.” —Saint Albert the GreatWhat is virtue? It is not a question often asked anymore; yet throughout the centuries, philosophers have considered it one of the most important questions of human life. Coming from the Latin word for "strength," virtue denotes a steady habit of willing the good—in Christian terms, pursuing the love of God and neighbor—in some particular way. While most Catholics know the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, as well as prudence, temperance, courage, and justice, many of us are unaware of numerous other virtues, such as discretion, constancy, and holy silence.Saint Albert the Great, one of the greatest Doctors of the Church, and one of the greatest intellects of all time, recognized 42 distinct virtues. His teachings not only name and define the virtues, but also direct and guide us in their fruitful exercise. Few are as qualified to teach on this subject as Albert, the Universal Doctor, best known as the teacher of Saint Thomas Aquinas himself. Only a man of true virtue could teach the truth of the virtues.Brimming with heavenly insights, The Paradise of the Soul teaches what it means to attain beatitude—that is, the fulfillment of all virtue.&#160; But as Saint Albert knew, since the fullness of virtues is contained in love, and because God is love, ultimately, we can only achieve true plenitude of virtue by possessing God Himself. This is the true paradise of the soul. Let Saint Albert the Great, Doctor of the Angelic Doctor, instruct you on the path to sanctity among angels.

The Paradise of the Soul: Forty-Two Virtues to Reach Heaven

Conor sits down with Fr. Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem to explore the life, mission, and ministry of St. John the Baptist. Most importantly, they unpack the historical evidence proving that St. John the Baptist was the one and only true high priest of Israel, and that Caiaphas and Annas were impostors.Together, Conor and Fr. Walshe examine biblical parallels, typology, prophecy, and fulfillment, considering how these different elements reveal themselves in the lives of St. John and Jesus Christ. They discuss Saint John’s biographical background, the history of the high priesthood, Old and New Testament parallels, the meaning of the words "prophet" and "prophecy", St. John’s connection to Old Testament prophets, his martyrdom for defending marriage, and speculations about his sinless birth.Be sure to Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and visit <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://conorgallaghershow.com/">ConorGallagherShow.com</a> to sign up for exclusive updates and offers.ABOUT FR.
