Excerpt:

"Jesus has returned to His place of prayer, and another picture, more terrible than the first, presents itself to Him. All our sins with their entire ugliness parade before Him in every detail. He must clothe Himself with this entire unclean mass of human corruption and present Himself before the sanctity of His Father, to expiate everything with individual pains, to render Him all that glory of which they have robbed Him, to cleanse that human cesspool in which man wallows with contemptible indifference.

And all this does not make Him retreat. As a raging sea this mass inundates Him, enfolds Him, oppresses Him. Behold Him before His Father the God of Justice, facing the full penalty of divine justice. He, the essence of purity, sanctity by nature, in contact with sin, indeed, as if He Himself had become a sinner! Who can fathom the disgust that He feels in His innermost spirit? The horror He feels? The nausea, the contempt He senses so vividly? And having taken all upon Himself, nothing excepted, He is crushed by this immense weight, oppressed, thrown down, prostrated. Exhausted, He groans beneath the weight of Divine Justice, before His Father, Who has permitted His Son to offer Himself as a Victim for sin, as one accursed."

St. Padre Pio:

St. Padre Pio
St. Padre Pio was a friar, priest, stigmatist, and mystic, now venerated as a saint of the Catholic Church. Born Francesco Forgione, he was given the name of Pius (Italian: Pio) when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Padre Pio became famous for exhibiting stigmata for most of his life, thereby generating much interest and controversy. He was both beatified (1999) and canonized (2002) by Pope John Paul II.

An incredible mystical intimation of the holy prayer of Lord Jesus before His betrayal and Crucifixion; an incredible source of theological depth for those with the mind to know it, the suffering of Christ, the kingdom of darkness, the fear of the Lord, divine charity and grace whereof mercy seems not and yet is. An inspirational text, born of living wisdom, this book will help you examine what it really means to carry your cross in the footsteps of Jesus, to your dying breath. This said, there is a great deal of peace and joy one can gather.

A gift from Padre Pio

As one who bore the painful wounds of the stigmata, Padre Pio movingly conveys the agony of Jesus and allows us to share in his redemptive suffering. A powerful and cathartic work.
