The present series of Devotions has been compiled with the view of supplying, in a measure, the want which is believed to be extensively felt, of some assistance towards realizing, for the purposes of meditation. the solemn subject of the Passion and Holy Weeks. It is almost obvious, that mere exhortation. However earnest and forcible, is quite inadequate to this end, without something which may serve to bring the actual details of the last memorable days of our Lord's Life of Suffering vividly before the mind's eye, as in a picture; and the minuteness with which the Holy Evangelists have been guided to depict the several incidents of the adorable Passion, may of itself be taken as a divine intimation of the mode in which Christians are intended to contemplate it. But it is quite remarkable. as experience abundantly shews how apt this especial feature of the sacred text is to be overlooked. Hence the value of such assistance as those, whose minds are habitually accustomed to realize the past and the absent as the present, can alone furnish towards bringing together and bringing out what in the Gospels is liable to escape notice from that absence of all regard to effect which is so strikingly characteristic of the Scripture records. This work contains: The Office of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ Rhythm of Saint Bonaventure on the Seven Last Words Litany of the Passion of Jesus Christ Prayers and Meditations on the Lord's Passion Seventeen Points of Meditation on the Passion of Jesus Christ Point of Meditation on the Passion of the Lord from Thomas a Kempis, the author of the Imitation of Christ. This book would be excellent for Holy Week, especially the three hours on Good Friday, the Tre Ore. We pray that these meditations will help all to appreciate more the sacrifice our Lord Jesus Christ made for the salvation of our souls.

Quadragesima is the Latin word for Lent or the forty days of preparation for Easter observed with fasting and prayer by Catholics. This work opens with an overview or a harmony of the Passion, followed by a chapter by chapter consideration of our Lord Jesus Christ's Passion. Let us consider the Last Supper: “Our Lord knew that this was to be the last gathering. At the beginning of the Last Supper He had said: "With desire I have desired (i.e., I have desired with great longing) to eat this Pasch with you before 1 suffer." All through that Supper how keen was His affection for His own; how much He felt for them; how all His words and actions had been directed with a view to giving them comfort and courage! He had bid farewell to His Mother; of that scene, as of all other similar scenes, Scripture tells us not a word, as though the Evangelists felt it to be too sacred for description. But it is not too sacred for meditation, and we may look on. and say and think what we will. He bade farewell to Judas in unmistakable terms; but with how much affection it had been preceded, how much affection was shown even at the parting itself. And He bade farewell to all the rest; we can take them one by one, with their different characters and different shortcomings, and know that He had a special love for each.”And the Agony in the Garden: “Undoubtedly the first ingredient of Our Lord's cup of sorrow was the sense of the sin of the world, the sense that in some way it was His own, the sense that in Him it was to be expiated. But this was intensified by many others. There was the intensity of His love. The more we care for others, the more we suffer for them and with them: what, then, must have been the measure of the suffering of Our Lord for us? Again, there was the determination that He would not be out-done in generosity; safely, then, we may say that the greatest sufferer in the world does but approach to the suffering of Our Lord. Again, there was the fact of His refined and perfect nature. The more perfect the creature, the more keenly does it feel; what, then, was the suffering of the nature of Our Lord?”Behold thy Mother; behold thy son. Let us consider this scene a moment: “Of all die scenes in the Passion, there is none more familiar to every one of us than this. The crowd has dwindled away; even its noisy exultation has not been able to keep up its false courage for long. There remain doubt, are not those who have been mostviolent; they are the partially sympathetic, the more or less faithful remnant, the curious. There remains, too, the guard, mainly of Roman soldiers, divided between contempt for the Victim and contempt for the people who have made such a display of their Eastern ferocity. It is true these soldiers have played their part in the cruelty; but they are Western souls, they are more easily sated in their lust for blood, and they stand there sullen and disgusted. Instinctively, without themselves noticing it, the true mourners have crept closer and closer; the guard does not trouble to prevent them; they find some comfort for themselves in this act of mercy. So three women stand there-Mary Immaculate, Mary the Penitent, Mary the mother of Apostles.”

The writer of this Preface was travelling in Germany, when he chanced to meet with a book, entitled, The History of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, from the Meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich, which appeared to him both interesting and edifying. Its style was unpretending, its ideas simple, its tone unassuming, its sentiments unexaggerated, and its every sentence expressive of the most complete and entire submission to the Church. Yet, at the same time, it would have been difficult anywhere to meet with a more touching and lifelike paraphrase of the Gospel narrative. He thought that a book possessing such qualities deserved to be known on this side the Rhine, and that there could be no reason why it should not be valued for its own sake, independent of the somewhat singular source whence it emanated.
