Summary

 Anne Catherine Emmerich was born in Germany in 1774. As a child she believed that angels, saints, and the Holy Family visited and talked with her as she worked in the fields. At twenty-four, she had her first mystic vision of the sufferings of Christ, accompanied by stigmata and bleeding as if from the crown of thorns. At twenty-nine, she became an Augustinian nun and continued to have visions and stigmata. In her visions, she recounted scenes from the life of Christ, which she seemed to have witnessed. These phenomena brought her fame and investigation by both science and the Church.

This book was one of the sources for Mel Gibson's motion picture, The Passion of the Christ.

A powerfully imaginative meditation on Our Lord's Passion, Death and Resurrection. It's easy to see why this book inspired the making of The Passion of the Christ movie. Biblical characters are described vividly in these reflections on the Passion as well as the supernatural happenings that accompanied the historical events described. The performance of the reader was something I had to get used to but, in the end, really appreciated because it was almost conversational and not stilted in any way.

Wonderfully vivid and fluently read
