Classic Catholic Teaching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I read this book every year during lent. It was written in the late 1890's and translated and published in America in the early 1900's. So a couple of social concepts are obsolete (or maybe not) and the English is dated, but the teachings and insights are classic and Catholic. However, it is not a an easy read, and I feel one needs to read it thoughtfully and slowly to really let it sink in. I have found it to be very powerful and enlightening, and best of all it has helped me develop a better understanding of our Lord's suffering and passion. An excellent spiritual read.

I will keep reading this book the rest of my life. It is so rich, you can't absorb it all, only bits at a time. I love this book, every Catholic should read it.
Review from the Publisher
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This magnificent work has got to be the greatest book on the suffering and death of Christ available anywhere today! It clearly and vividly gives us the reasons, meaning, causes, motives, circumstances and effects for the greatest drama ever recorded in human history. Father Groenings has shunned all private revelation as a source for this powerful book. He has instead relied on the best authority available on Holy Scripture - the invaluable writings of the Fathers of the Church. Learn why Christ chose to be crowned with thorns or to be scourged at a pillar. What role did Barabbas play in God's plan? What grace caused Pilate's wife to become a Catholic? What is the meaning of Christ falling while carrying the cross? Why did Our Lord choose crucifixion over other modes of death? What sins did Peter commit with his denial? What is the meaning of natures' reaction during the Passion, such as earthquakes or the eclipse of the sun in the middle of the day? Hundreds of unforgettable insights! 461pp. PB. Imprimatur.
