The Sufferings of Our Lord Jesus Christ

This collection of meditations by St. Claude de la Colombière, renowned for his championing of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and his role as spiritual director to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, was first presented as a series of sermons during Lent in 1677.

Addressing themes such as interior and exterior penance, silence, contempt for the world, and the abnegation of self-will, St. Claude offers profound reflections rooted in his personal trials and steadfast fidelity to Christ. These meditations provide a compelling invitation to imitate the virtues exemplified by Christ in His Passion and to pursue the path of sanctity.

Rich in theological insight and spiritual depth, this volume remains an invaluable resource for those seeking to deepen their faith, especially during the penitential season of Lent, and to cultivate the virtues necessary for eternal salvation.
