Summary "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" by Anna Katharina Emmerich is a spiritual meditation written in the early 19th century. This work is a blend of personal vision and religious reflection that aims to convey the suffering and passion of Jesus Christ as experienced through the eyes of Emmerich, a nun known for her pious visions and ecstatic experiences. The narrative likely focuses on the details of Christ's final days leading to the crucifixion, deeply exploring the themes of sacrifice, compassion, and the humanity of Jesus. At the start of the work, the author provides a foundation for the meditations, emphasizing the intention behind her reflections as they relate to the suffering of Christ. She conveys her struggles with the immense burdens of her visions, reflecting on her life of piety and acute sensitivity to the spiritual realm. The opening section introduces readers to Emmerich's early experiences of divine visits, her vow to bear the sufferings of others, and her fervent desire to understand and share the Passion of Christ through her meditative state. It sets the tone for a contemplative journey filled with deep emotion, personal sacrifice, and a focus on the passion narrative as an ever-relevant truth for Christians.
