The Hours of the Passion

The Hours of the Passion by Jude Mead is a book that delves into the spiritual practice of praying the Stations of the Cross. The author presents a unique approach to this traditional Catholic devotion by focusing on the hours leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. Mead provides a detailed guide for meditating on each hour of the Passion, from Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to his burial in the tomb.The book is divided into 14 chapters, each one dedicated to a specific hour of the Passion. Each chapter includes a brief scriptural passage, followed by a reflection on the events of that hour and a series of prayerful meditations. Mead's writing is deeply contemplative and encourages readers to enter into a state of prayerful reflection as they journey through the Passion.Throughout the book, Mead emphasizes the importance of developing a personal relationship with Jesus and of allowing his suffering to transform our own lives. She also explores the theme of redemptive suffering and how we can unite our own sufferings with those of Jesus for the sake of our own salvation and the salvation of the world.The Hours of the Passion is a thoughtful and inspiring resource for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual practice and draw closer to Jesus. It is suitable for both individuals and groups, and can be used as a daily devotional or as a guide for a Lenten retreat.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
