Free Meditation On The Passion Ebooks Online
Available for the first time on Kindle, this “Catholic classic” ranks with other titles about the life of Christ written by giants like Fr. Garrigou Lagrange. Those who experienced the spiritual power of “The Passion of the Christ” are likely to encounter the same with this timeless book. Enlightening as a day-by-day study during the weeks of Lent or Advent, or as frequent source of meditation for the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, the Nine First Fridays, the Five First Saturdays, or any time a traditional spiritual retreat is needed, people from all walks of life will discover their knowledge and love of Christ will grow and increase as they read this beautiful study.Among the many subjects proposed by the Church to us for mental prayer, there is none more profitable than the sublime mystery of Calvary. For even where everything is supremely holy—namely, in the actions of Jesus Christ, Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—the Passion is the culmination of sanctity, the highest exercise of virtue, and the greatest cause of merit. For these reasons, devout meditation on the Passion of Christ produces most abundant fruit in souls.In one accord, Saints and Doctors of the Church—those who are specially enlightened, those who spoke from experience, those who are our best guides in the spiritual life—praise and glorify the holy practice of meditating on the Passion. St. Augustine wrote: “There is nothing more advantageous, nothing better adapted to ensure our eternal salvation, than daily contemplate the sufferings which Jesus Christ bore for our sake.”If the love of God is the essence of holiness, what better way can we arouse and increase this love and spur ourselves to generosity than by considering the sacred Passion of Our Lord, for as St. Augustine says in his “Confessions” (ii, 16); “What kindles, urges, inflames and drives me to love Thee more than anything else, and to make Thee loved above everything else, is the most ignominious and bitter death which Thou, O good Jesus, didst endure for the work of our redemption.”“Meditation on the Passion,” the distillation of the meditations and instructions of a good and pious nun who (by the turn of the 20th century) had for 30 years served as the Mistress of Novices in the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will be a help to advancement in the spiritual life and an abundant source of blessings to all who use it as an aid in contemplating and considering what Jesus, the Word Incarnate, suffered for their salvation.

This is such a wonderful book! It is broken down into short chapters which make for easy daily reading, meditation, and prayer. Readers are taken through the final days of Jesus on earth to His death on the cross, examining in a relatively brief yet insightful way such events as Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles, Mary Magdelene's pouring of expensive fragrance on Jesus, Judas' betrayal, and more. Rev. Walsh covers each event in such a way as to bring you there, as if you were in the Upper Room for example, and also makes you take into consideration other factors such as the thoughts and emotions of each event's participants and spectators. Biblically and theologically sound, this book is an absolute treasure, and one I am certain I will re-read often and spend much time in prayer and contemplation with. I highly recommend this book!
I am not done with Meditation on the Passion, but I would like to let everyone know it is very interesting about the Pass of our Lord. Oh, yes I have heard it many, many times but this book brings out to me the real feelings of our Lord and Saviour. It makes you feel you are right there with Jesus experiencing the torture and pain that he went through for us then and for now. I am taking my time to read this book to really understand the meanings and wonders of our Lord. I didn't know what to read for Lent and the next day this book shows up on kindle. Don't miss out!!Lee
A blow by blow account of what Jesus done, either to help Judas and his friends, or His prayers in the Garden were answered to how He was treated on being arrested in the Garden. Following this is He was mistreated all during His Passion along with at least a glimpse of the mystery of suffering. It seems only fitting also to read in conjunction with book about Our Blessed Mother's Sorrows, that I read the one by Fr. Faber's book on this topic. Both are great and terrific when read together.
These meditations are more than I could have imagined. Rev. Walsh prepares you for how to prepare for beginning the meditations and how to receive the most spiritual blessings. He very adeptly describes the passion from the perspectives of the different points of view of each person and brings you to believe in the fullness of Jesus' love for mankind and the depth of His sufferings for each one of us. To become more appreciative of Jesus and His love for you and in return to carry His message of love out into the world through your personal witness and testimony, I highly recommend the Meditation on the Passion.
This book gave me an insight into the Passion and life as a Christian in general that I did not expect at all. I feel that I have grown significantly in my spiritual life after having read it, even though I am quite familiar with the Passion from other sources. Very worthwhile reading.
I would give this book a hundred stars! Anyone wanting to understand and get closer to Jesus during His Passion should look no further than this book. I have recommended it to many of my friends and am on my second reading, not missing a single word of every page.
If you as a Christian want a better relationship with Christ please read this book. I will admit it is deep in theology and not for a first time reader. That being said you can read this book for daily meditation and a constant reference about the way of the cross
A great resource, especially during this time of Lent. Lets us see Christ's sufferings in a new light, and educates us in what He suffered for us.This is what St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort tells us in his book, “The Secret of the Rosary”:St. Augustine assures us that there is no spiritual exercise more fruitful or more useful than the frequent reflection on the sufferings of our Lord. Blessed Albert the Great, who had St. Thomas Aquinas as his student, learned in a revelation that by simply thinking of or meditating on the passion of Jesus Christ, a Christian gains more merit than if he had fasted on bread and water every Friday for a year, or had beaten himself with the discipline once a week till blood flowed, or had recited the whole Book of Psalms every day»
