Interesting and profound reflections written by this great saint on "the love that Jesus Christ manifested to us during His Passion." For St. Alphonsus, what matters above all is to love Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Hence his insistence on the importance of meditating on His Passion and Death, moments when, in the most moving way, God made man is able to steal our hearts.
St. Alphonsus begins with Sacred Scripture, as he believes that "nothing moves the Christian to divine love more than the very words of God taken from the holy books." From this starting point, he opens broad perspectives for deeper understanding and improvement in following Christ.
Throughout the work, he invites the faithful to reflect deeply on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Through daily meditations, he describes key moments of the Passion, from the agony in Gethsemane to the crucifixion, helping readers comprehend Christ's immense redemptive love. He not only recounts the historical events but also delves into their spiritual meaning, urging conversion, repentance, and love for God. At all times, he shows how Christ's suffering becomes a source of hope and salvation for humanity.
This book is an essential devotional work, guiding the faithful toward a closer relationship with the central mystery of the Christian faith: the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus.
