All that the Saviour has suffered in the three principal theatres of his passion that is, in the garden of Olives, in the city of Jerusalem, and on Mount Calvary. The contemplations which devout authors have made and written on the passion, are useful and beautiful but certainly a single word from the sacred Scriptures makes a greater impression on a Chris tian than a hundred and a thousand con templations and revelations ascribed to certain holy souls for the Scripture as sures us, that whatever they attest is cer tain with the certainty of divine faith. Hence I have resolved, for the benefit and consolation of souls enamoured to Jesus Christ, to arrange in order, and to relate in simple language (adding a few brief re?ections and affections) what the holy Evangelists say Of the passion of Jesus Christ. They supply abundant matter for the meditations of a hundred and a thousand years, and at the same time the most powerful motives to in ?ame us with holy charity towards our most loving Redeemer.
