The Crown of Sorrow: Lent 52 Meditations on the Passion of Our Lord by Most Rev. Alban Goodier S.J. A Grail Publication 1946 Hardcover Condition: Good ‘The Passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love’—St Paul of the Cross. The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the richest and most fruitful sources of meditation and prayer. As St Francis de Sales said, ‘Mount Calvary is the academy of love’. In this small book, Archbishop Alban Goodier gives first a harmony of the Passion—a single text woven from the Passion narratives of the four Evangelists—and then 52 meditations on each part of the Passion. The meditations in this book make a perfect Lenten meditation book, entering deeply into the Passion with a meditation for each day, starting in the lead up to Lent. Alban Goodier, 1869-1939, born in England, was an English Jesuit priest and then bishop, a teacher and also a spiritual writer. He was archbishop of Bombay from 1919 to 1926.
